Nocturnal Fishing with Landing Net
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the year 1578, immersing us in a scene of ancient river fishery. The artwork, created by Philips Galle and Jan van der Straet, beautifully captures the essence of a clear night under the watchful gaze of Diana Moon Goddess. In this enchanting image, we witness a small group of individuals engaged in their nocturnal hunt. Armed with fishing aids and crafts, they skillfully navigate the river's gentle currents. A personification of Luna Selene illuminates their path as her radiant light dances upon the water's surface. The focal point lies on one figure who wields a hammer while tapping gently on a stone. This rhythmic sound creates an irresistible lure for unsuspecting fish nearby. As they approach out of curiosity or confusion, another individual expertly employs his landing net to capture them swiftly. The moon's presence adds an ethereal touch to this tranquil setting; its glow casting long shadows across the rippling waters. Amidst this serene ambiance, we are transported into an era where hunting was not only for sustenance but also for recreation and camaraderie. Quint Lox's print allows us to appreciate both the artistry and historical significance behind this Latin-inspired piece. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans found solace and purpose in nature’s bounty during quiet nights spent along riversides – connecting generations through time with our shared love for exploration and adventure
