"The Great King of the Parthians Hunts with his Tame Panthers, plate 9 from Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish)" is a notable engraving created 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). Published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Philips Galle) in Amsterdam, this work is part of a larger series that explores various hunting scenes, showcasing the diverse methods and traditions associated with the sport across different cultures and historical periods.

The engraving depicts a dramatic and exotic hunting scene, where the Parthian king, presumably a reference to the rulers of the ancient Parthian Empire, engages in the pursuit of game using trained panthers as part of the hunt. This scene reflects the fascination with the Orient and the noble pastime of hunting that was prevalent among European elites during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Jan Collaert II, a member of the prominent Collaert family of engravers and printmakers, was known for his intricate and detailed engravings that often featured allegorical and mythological subjects, as well as scenes of daily life and nature. His work on this series, under the direction of Stradano and published by Gallaeus, contributed to the dissemination of knowledge about hunting practices and exotic animals throughout Europe.

Giovanni Stradano, a prolific artist of the late Renaissance, worked in various mediums, including painting, drawing, and designing prints. His collaboration with Collaert and Gallaeus on the Venationes series is considered an important contribution to the genre of hunting scenes in art, blending artistic skill with ethnographic curiosity.

The engraving is an example of the cultural exchange and the blending of artistic traditions that characterized the printmaking industry in the Low Countries during the 16th and early 17th centuries. It also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the European imagination and representation of "the other" during a time of exploration and colonial expansion.

Today, "The Great King of the Parthians Hunts with his Tame Panthers" is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical significance, offering a window into the past perceptions and artistic renderings of hunting as both a noble sport and a spectacle.
