Een draak jaagt andere dieren weg 1600

"Een draak jaagt andere dieren weg" is a 1600 etching by the Italian artist Antonio Tempesta (1555–1630). The print depicts a fearsome dragon, its wings outstretched and tail curled, breathing fire as it chases a variety of animals, including a bear, a pig, a donkey, a wolf, and a goat. The dragon's powerful form and the terrified expressions of the animals create a sense of impending doom. This artwork is a fine example of Tempesta's mastery of the etching technique, and his ability to depict dramatic scenes with great detail and realism. The etching is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
