Jupiter en Ganymedes boven landschap 1500 - 1503

"Jupiter en Ganymedes boven landschap," created by Giulio Campagnola between 1500 and 1503, is a masterful example of an engraving. The artwork depicts the mythological scene of Jupiter, disguised as an eagle, abducting the Trojan prince Ganymede. The scene is set against a detailed landscape, with a river flowing through a valley, trees, and a small building. Campagnola's skill is evident in the intricate detail of the bird's plumage and the delicate shading used to depict the figures and landscape. This small-scale engraving, measuring just 167 mm by 124 mm, showcases the artist's ability to convey a powerful narrative within a confined space.
