Lucht 1618 - 1655

"Lucht" is an etching by Cornelis Schut, a Flemish artist, dating to 1618-1655. The artwork depicts a winged figure, likely an angel or a putto, riding on a wheel and holding a bunch of grapes. The image uses hatching, a technique of using closely spaced parallel lines to create shading, to depict the figure's anatomy, the wheel, and the background. The engraving is a fine example of Schut's skillful use of line and composition to create a sense of movement and depth. This artwork is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
