The Nereids, by Francesco Albani 

"Oro Lucina e Morandino" is a black and white etching by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, who is best known for his intricate and detailed depictions of Roman architecture. The artwork depicts a scene from a pastoral romance, showing a shepherdess, Oro Lucina, being pursued by two men, Morandino and Orco. The composition includes a flock of sheep, a small landscape, and a mountainous backdrop. The dramatic storytelling of the scene is emphasized by the use of light and shadow. Piranesi created this etching for his work, “Carceri d’Invenzione” (Imaginary Prisons), which is one of his most famous series of etchings that uses an expressive, dramatic style to depict the beauty of the human form.
