Scène de chasse

ca. 1494–1500
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 613
Voici un tableau remarquable, où des hommes et des satyres abattent des lions, des ours et d’autres créatures, certains à coups de gourdin. Des animaux dans le lointain fuient un feu de forêt. C’est l’une des plus singulières scènes de chasse de la Renaissance, et c’est certainement l’une des représentations les plus originales de la vie de l’homme primitif. Le tableau ferait partie d’une série inspirée des œuvres des Romains Vitruvius et Lucretius. Ce dernier avait écrit que ces hommes vivaient comme des bêtes sauvages.
