Vrouwen brengen offer aan Priapus 1500 - 1508

This engraving titled "Vrouwen brengen offer aan Priapus" (Women Offering Sacrifice to Priapus) was created between 1500 and 1508 by Jacopo de' Barbari, an Italian artist who lived a short but impactful life from 1497 to 1516. The scene depicts a group of women in classical attire offering a sacrifice to the Roman god Priapus, known for his association with fertility and abundance. The detailed lines and intricate composition showcase de' Barbari's masterful use of engraving, contributing to the visual richness and historical depth of the work.
