Painting Description
"Beekeepers, plate 83 from Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" is a notable engraving by the Flemish artist Jan Collaert II (1566–1628), after a design by the Italian artist Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet, 1523–1605). The work was published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Phillip Galle) in Amsterdam and is part of a larger series that explores the theme of hunting and captures various methods of capturing and interacting with wildlife. This particular plate, number 83 in the series, focuses on the practice of beekeeping and illustrates the techniques and tools used during the period to manage and harvest honey from bees.
The series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium," which translates to "Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish," is a comprehensive collection of engravings that was highly regarded for its detailed and accurate depictions of hunting scenes, and it serves as an important historical record of the practices and customs associated with hunting and animal husbandry in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
Jan Collaert II was a prominent engraver of his time, known for his craftsmanship and his collaborations with other artists. Giovanni Stradano was a prolific artist who worked in Florence and had a significant impact on the Northern Mannerist style. His original designs for the series were brought to life by Collaert's skilled engraving, and Phillipus Gallaeus's publication of the series helped disseminate the images widely, contributing to their historical and artistic significance.
The "Beekeepers" plate is particularly interesting as it provides insight into the early modern period's relationship with nature and the methods used in apiculture. The engraving not only serves as a work of art but also as a document that reflects the technological and ecological understanding of the time. The series as a whole, and this plate in particular, remain valuable to historians, art enthusiasts, and naturalists for their rich detail and the light they shed on human-animal interactions during the Renaissance.
