Konijnen triomferen over wolven c. 1563 - 1583

"Konijnen triomferen over wolven" (Rabbits triumph over wolves), an engraving by Conrad Saldörffer, depicts a satirical scene with rabbits driving a chariot pulled by wolves while another rabbit plays a trumpet. The scene is set in a wooded landscape and is surrounded by a caption in German. This artwork, dating from c. 1563-1583, uses the technique of engraving to create a detailed and humorous depiction of a reversed social hierarchy, questioning the power dynamics of the time. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of satirical art from the 16th century, with a clear focus on visual storytelling.
