Grafsteen van M. Antonius Antius Lupus 1675 - 1711

This 17th-century etching, “Grafsteen van M. Antonius Antius Lupus,” depicts a ruined Roman tomb in the style of a landscape. The engraving, by an unknown artist, shows the partially destroyed tomb structure with a Latin inscription. The artist uses detailed lines to create a sense of realism, showing the rough texture of the stone and the surrounding foliage. The work is in the style of a topographical engraving and is a good example of the detailed depiction of Roman artifacts popular in the 17th century. The artwork can be found in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
