Vissers vangen tonijn met spiezen 1605

This etching, *Vissers vangen tonijn met spiezen*, was created in 1605 by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta. It depicts a scene of fishermen spearing tuna, a common practice in the Mediterranean Sea. The scene is dynamic, with the fishermen in their boats amidst choppy waters, while a distant cityscape suggests a coastal setting. Tempesta’s intricate details and use of light and shadow make this a captivating image. *Vissers vangen tonijn met spiezen* is an example of Tempesta's mastery of etching, a technique used for creating prints. This print is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
