Dochters van Anius in duiven veranderd 1606

Antonio Tempesta's 1606 etching, *Dochters van Anius in duiven veranderd*, depicts a scene from Greek mythology. The daughters of Anius are shown being transformed into doves as they flee from the wrath of the god Dionysus. The engraving is characterized by dramatic lines and detailed depictions of the figures and doves. Tempesta was known for his mastery of the technique of etching, and this print exemplifies his skilled use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and movement. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
