JAN VAN DER STRAET dit STRADANUS (1523-1605) Cette planche fait partie de la célèbre série « Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium » publiée à Anvers par Philippe Galle à la fin du XVIe siècle (vers 1578-1580). La scène illustre la capture d'un immense serpent (dragon) originaire d'Inde, vivant caché dans les eaux et affamé, qui sort de sa cachette pour s'attaquer à un troupeau suspendu à un arbre ombragé ; il est finalement neutralisé à coups de gourdins et par le feu, comme le décrit le texte latin en bas de la planche : " Ingentem vegeto Serpentem corpore gignit / India, qui solitus latitare in aquis, fame pressus / Prodit, & umbrosa dependens arbore, saltu / Apprendit pecus: ast clavis flammaque necatur." C.De Mallery sculpt. Dimensions : 25 x 30,4 cm
