"Catching the Serpent of Egypt in a Net" is a notable engraving that forms part of the series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" (Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), which illustrates various hunting scenes from around the world. This particular plate, number 45 in the series, was engraved by Jan Collaert (1566–1628), a Flemish artist known for his detailed and intricate engravings. The series was published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Philips Galle) in Amsterdam and is based on the designs of Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet), an Italian artist of Flemish descent who was active during the late Renaissance period.

The engraving depicts a dramatic scene in which hunters are shown capturing a large serpent in Egypt using a net. The work reflects the European fascination with exotic creatures and foreign hunting practices during the 16th and early 17th centuries. It combines elements of both artistic imagination and contemporary accounts of wildlife in distant lands, offering a glimpse into the ways in which Europeans of the time perceived the natural world beyond their borders.

The "Venationes" series is significant for its contribution to the iconography of hunting and for its reflection of the era's interest in natural history and exploration. "Catching the Serpent of Egypt in a Net" stands out within the series for its portrayal of a particularly exotic and dangerous quarry, capturing the imagination of its European audience with a scene of adventure and peril in the distant land of Egypt. The engraving is a testament to the collaborative efforts of Stradano's designs, Collaert's engraving skills, and Galle's publishing enterprise, which together brought to life the diverse practices of hunting across the world for a European audience.
