Theagenes en Charliclée na het vertrek van Calasiris 1623

"Theagenes en Charliclée na het vertrek van Calasiris" is an etching by Michel Lasne, a Flemish artist born in 1590 and died in 1667. The image depicts a scene from the novel "Theagenes and Chariclea" by Greek writer Heliodorus of Emesa. The print shows Theagenes and Chariclea in an architectural setting with a balcony overlooking a stormy sea and a ship sailing away in the distance. The scene captures a moment of parting between Theagenes and Chariclea, with Theagenes looking out at the departing ship. The use of etching techniques creates a sense of drama and emotion in the scene. This work is a testament to Lasne's mastery of printmaking and his ability to translate literary scenes into visual art.
