Atalanta and Meleager chasing the Calydonian Boars

Engraving, part of a set of 12 mythological scenes, created by Etienne Delaune in Strasbourg in 1573. Each scene is presented inside an oval frame made up of two thin ovals, which contains an inscription for the scene. This engraving illustrates the Calydonian Hunt, in which king Oeneus of Calydon summits the greatest hunters of Greece to hunt the boars that Artemis sent after him for not including her in his offerings, promising the boar's pelt and tusks in reward. Atalanta appears in the center of the picture, her bow in hand, and the arrow she just shot piercing the skin of the first boar. Behind her, Meleager, wearing a hat, seems ready to throw a javelin, participating in the hunt. To their left are other heroes that responded to the call, including a man with a bow and arrow, likely Amphiaraus who, after Atalanta, strikes an arrow on a boar's eye. All of them are pictured running towards the right of the frame, which contains representations of the boars that run away from them and into the forest. The scene is framed by thin trees, and more hunters can be seen in the background.
