Amazone door saters voor Pan gebracht 1608 - 1650

This etching, "Amazone door saters voor Pan gebracht," created by Pierre Brebiette between 1608 and 1650, depicts a scene from classical mythology. The central figure is a female Amazon, bound and being presented to the god Pan, who is seated on a pedestal to the right. The composition, with its detailed figures and landscape backdrop, reflects the artist's mastery of Baroque style, known for its dramatic and emotional portrayal of subjects. The artwork, now held at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of mythology and art that shaped the European cultural landscape of the 17th century.
