Hercules jaagt op het zwijn van Erymanthus 1528 - 1583

This is a small, circular, engraving by Etienne Delaune, dating from 1528 to 1583 and depicting the Greek hero Hercules riding on horseback while hunting the Erymanthian Boar, as described in Greek Mythology. The scene is framed in a circular border with a Latin inscription and surrounded by a stylized, decorative pattern on the bottom. The detail of the horse and the inscription "Hercules jaagt op het zwijn van Erymanthus" makes this engraving an interesting example of Renaissance art. The artwork can be seen at the Rijksmuseum.
