"Grace and violence", with these words, the artist himself referred to this work, which was commissioned by John Digby, Earl of Bristol in England.
The composition is fabulous, it shows the struggle between man and beast, seven characters dressed in Roman and Arab attire battle against two lions, which have not yet been wounded.
The movement and tension of the subject are remarkable, it is considered a masterpiece of European Baroque.
German title: Löwenjagd.
