Saturnus after 1585

This engraving, "Saturnus," created by Jan (II) Collaert after 1585, portrays the Roman god Saturn, the personification of the planet Saturn. Saturn is depicted as a powerful, nude figure holding a sickle and a young child. The artwork was likely part of a series of engravings depicting the Roman gods, a popular subject in Renaissance art. The image's stark contrasts and meticulous detail are characteristic of the period's engraving style. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
