This chaotic scene shows a wild hunt in a stormy night sky. People and animals—some half-human, some monstrous—run and scream through the darkness. The sky is full of swirling clouds, and strange creatures with wings and horns chase others on the ground. The title *Chasse Infernale* means "Hellish Hunt," a myth about a ghostly chase that never ends. The artist used sharp lines and dramatic movement to make it feel frenzied. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
