Mannen en vrouwen vluchten door een deuropening naar buiten 1750 - 1779

"Mannen en vrouwen vluchten door een deuropening naar buiten" is an etching by Carl Leberecht Crusius, a German artist who lived from 1740 to 1779. Created between 1750 and 1779, this small-scale artwork depicts a group of men and women rushing out of a doorway, captured in a moment of hurried escape. The composition, focused on the figures' dynamic movement and the use of strong lines, is characteristic of Crusius's style, which often incorporated elements of Rococo and Baroque aesthetics. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the daily life and social dynamics of 18th-century Europe.
