"Hunting Sea Creatures" (plate 84) is a notable engraving from the series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium, Pugnae Bestiariorum & mutuae Bestiarum" (Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish, Battles of Beasts, and Mutual Destruction among Beasts), which showcases various scenes of animal hunting and combat. This particular plate was engraved by Jan Collaert II (1566–1628), a Flemish artist known for his work in printmaking, and was published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Phillip Galle) in Amsterdam. The original artwork for the series was created by Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet), an Italian artist of the Flemish school who was active during the late Renaissance period.

The "Venationes" series, which includes over a hundred engravings, was produced in the late 16th century and is recognized for its detailed representation of hunting scenes, ranging from traditional European practices to more exotic and imaginative depictions. "Hunting Sea Creatures" stands out within the collection as it illustrates the human endeavor to capture marine life, reflecting the period's fascination with the natural world and its untamed inhabitants.

The engraving captures the perilous nature of sea hunting, with human figures engaged in a dramatic struggle to subdue various marine animals, including fish and cephalopods. The dynamic composition and intricate detailing of the scene are characteristic of the Mannerist style, which was prevalent during the time of the work's creation. The series as a whole, and "Hunting Sea Creatures" in particular, not only serves as an artistic expression but also provides historical insight into the methods and cultural attitudes towards hunting and nature during the Renaissance.

"Hunting Sea Creatures" and the "Venationes" series are significant in the history of art for their combination of artistic skill, cultural documentation, and the dissemination of knowledge through the medium of printmaking. The works have been studied for their contribution to the understanding of Renaissance iconography and the evolution of printmaking as a form of mass communication.
