Bear Hunt (Hollstein 507) is an intricate and dynamic engraving by the renowned German artist Virgil Solis, who was active during the 16th century. Solis, born in 1514 and passing in 1562, was a prolific engraver and printmaker whose works significantly contributed to the Northern Renaissance. His engravings are noted for their detailed craftsmanship and vivid storytelling, often drawing from mythological, biblical, and historical themes.

Bear Hunt exemplifies Solis's mastery in capturing movement and drama within a confined space. The scene is a vivid depiction of a chaotic and intense bear hunt, showcasing a group of hunters and their dogs in the midst of a fierce confrontation with a bear. The composition is meticulously detailed, with each figure and animal rendered with precision, highlighting Solis's skill in creating depth and texture through engraving techniques.

The engraving is part of a larger body of work by Solis that illustrates various hunting scenes, a popular subject in Renaissance art that symbolized both the nobility's leisure activities and the human struggle against nature. Solis's ability to convey the tension and energy of the hunt is evident in the dynamic poses of the figures and the intricate detailing of the landscape and animals.

Bear Hunt (Hollstein 507) is cataloged in the Hollstein German Engravings, Etchings, and Woodcuts series, which is a comprehensive reference work documenting prints by German artists from the 15th to the early 20th centuries. This particular engraving is a testament to Solis's artistic prowess and his contribution to the visual culture of his time. It remains a valuable piece for studying the techniques and thematic preferences of Northern Renaissance printmakers.
