"Fishing in Shallow Waters Using Nets" is a notable engraving that serves as plate 96 within the series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium," which translates to "Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish." This series, created by the Flemish artist Jan van der Straet, known as Giovanni Stradano, offers a detailed visual study of various hunting scenes, capturing the methods and practices of the time. Stradano (1523–1605) was an artist of considerable repute, whose works often depicted scenes of daily life, infused with a sense of dynamism and attention to detail.

This particular plate was engraved by Jan Collaert (1566–1628), a prominent engraver of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, who was part of a well-known family of engravers in Antwerp. The series was published by Phillipus Gallaeus, or Philips Galle, an influential publisher based in Amsterdam, who played a crucial role in disseminating the works of many artists of the period through his extensive network.

The engraving itself illustrates the methodical process of fishing in shallow waters, where a group of fishermen is depicted using nets to capture fish. The scene is rich in detail, providing insight into the techniques and tools used in the era, as well as the communal nature of such activities. Stradano's work not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a historical document, reflecting the socio-economic practices of the 16th century.

The "Venationes" series, to which this plate belongs, is considered an important work in the context of Stradano's oeuvre, as it encapsulates his interest in the interaction between humans and nature. The engravings are valued for their artistic merit, historical significance, and the light they shed on the cultural practices of the time. "Fishing in Shallow Waters Using Nets" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Stradano's work and the collaborative efforts of artists and publishers in the early modern period.
