EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Cornelius Lelienbergh, a renowned artist from the 17th century. Titled "Dead Game" this oil painting transports us back to 1657, immersing us in a scene that exudes both beauty and melancholy. In this masterpiece, Lelienbergh skillfully captures the aftermath of a successful hunt. The table before us is adorned with an array of lifeless creatures - game birds and rabbits - their feathers and fur meticulously detailed. The artist's mastery lies in his ability to evoke emotions through stillness; we can almost hear the silence that hangs heavy in the air. The preparation for this feast is evident as well. A shotgun leans against the wall, its presence reminding us of both power and destruction. This juxtaposition highlights humanity's complex relationship with nature: our desire to conquer it while simultaneously appreciating its bounty. Lelienbergh's attention to detail extends beyond just capturing these fallen creatures; he also portrays them with dignity and respect. Each animal appears carefully arranged, emphasizing their natural grace even in death. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Lelienbergh's artistic prowess but also of our own connection to nature throughout history. "Dead Game" serves as a timeless reminder that life is fleeting yet beautiful, urging us to reflect on our place within the intricate tapestry of existence.
