Aeolus seated on clouds 

This etching, "Aeolus seated on clouds," is attributed to Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a renowned Italian artist known for his architectural engravings and fantastical depictions of ancient ruins. The detailed line work captures Aeolus, the Greek god of wind, seated on a cloud, his winged form and flowing beard adding a sense of power and majesty to the composition. The artist's masterful use of shading creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer into the atmospheric world of Greek mythology. This artwork is a testament to Piranesi's keen eye for detail and his ability to bring classical themes to life through the medium of engraving.
