Jai Singh III of Jaipur (r. 1818-1835) Riding, c. 1820. Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Jaipur. Ink and color on paper; overall: 10 x 14.3 cm (3 15/16 x 5 5/8 in.). In contrast to imperial Mughal painting and Western portraiture, native or Rajput Indian portraits are simpler and more monumental in design, standing essentially as symbols of general ideas. Here the Rajput ruler sits unaffected by the gallop of his mount, with the trappings of a warrior and the devotional marks of a follower of the Hindu god Vishnu on his forehead. He is depicted as an ideal warrior king, pious, in full control, gazing ahead abstractly as though seeing an immutable truth.

The Unicorn is Killed and Brought to the Castle (from the Unicorn Tapestries). Culture: South Netherlandish. Dimensions: Overall: 145 x 153in. (368.3 x 388.6cm). Date: 1495-1505.Two episodes of the hunt narrative are brought together in this hanging. At left, two hunters drive their lances into the neck and chest of the unicorn, as a third delivers the coup de grce from the back. In some contexts, the unicorn is an allegory for Christ; the large holly tree (often a symbol of Christ's Passion) rising from behind his head may conceivably be linked to this association. In the other episode, at right, a lord and a lady receive the body of the unicorn in front of their castle. They are surrounded by their attendants, with more curious onlookers peering through windows of the turret behind them. The dead animal is slung on the back of a horse, his horn already cut off but still entangled in thorny oak branches--perhaps an allusion to the Crown of Thorns. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art,

This photo of a mosaic showing a hunting scene (scene of a young man/boy hunting a hare) was taken in the summer of 1970 at Piazza Armerina in Sicily. Piazza Armerina is home to the Roman Villa del Casale and its famous mosaics, the 'finest mosaics in situ anywhere in the Roman world,' as described by UNESCO, which inserted it into its World Heritage list in 1997. Villa Romana was a lavish patrician residence built at the center of a huge latifundium (agricultural estate) at the end of the 4th century AD. It is thought to have belonged to a member of the Roman senatorial aristocracy, who traded in exotic animals.  The villa and its mosaics were abandoned for centuries and only rediscovered in the early 19th century.
