Jagermeister by ~screwbald is an amazing work of art. At first glance you may wonder why a buck would be hunting - but look closer - he's taking out the resident wolves in his forest. Everything about this piece pays homage to the beauty of nature and the careful balance between predator and prey.

Description

Loose translation of the German poem:

This is the hunter's badge of glory:
That he protects and tends his quarry,
Hunts with honour, as is due,
And through the beast to God is true.

A piece of art from my ancestors. Here it is in its native language for those who are interested:

“Dies ist das Ruhmesabzeichen des Jägers: Dass er seine Beute beschützt und pflegt, Jagt mit Ehre, wie es ihm gebührt, Und durch das Tier ist Gott wahr.”
