This intricate engraving, created by Johannes or Lucas van Doetechum around 1564-1565, is a testament to the artistic flourishes of the Renaissance. The composition, a trapezoidal form, is filled with delicate details, including fantastical creatures, stylized plants, and a Latin quote. The work showcases the trend of incorporating classical elements and symbolism into decorative art, highlighting the intellectual spirit of the era. The engraving, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of the Dutch Mannerist style.
