Unicorns on the banks of the Indus, hunted by permission of the King
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a time when mythical creatures roamed freely in lands unknown. In this enchanting scene, we find ourselves on the picturesque banks of the mighty Indus River. The artist, Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus), has masterfully captured a momentous event - a unicorn hunt sanctioned by none other than the King himself. As our eyes wander across this 17th-century illustration from Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), we are transported into a world where fantasy meets reality. Armed with bows and arrows, skilled hunters venture forth in pursuit of these majestic horned animals that have long captivated human imagination. The composition is rich in detail and symbolism; every stroke tells a story. The lush greenery surrounding the river creates an idyllic backdrop for this extraordinary encounter between man and mythological beast. We can almost hear the rush of water as it cascades over rocks while unicorns graze peacefully nearby. This print not only showcases Van der Straet's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with legends and folklore throughout history. It invites us to ponder upon our own desires to explore what lies beyond our known world – to seek out magic even in places where it seems impossible to exist. Intriguingly mysterious yet undeniably beautiful, "Unicorns on the banks of the Indus" transports us into an era where dreams intertwine with reality and reminds us that sometimes all it takes is belief to make wonders come alive.
