Roma met paarden onderweg 1603 - 1658

Abraham Casembroot's etching "Roma met paarden onderweg," created between 1603 and 1658, depicts a procession of travelers on horseback, possibly traversing a foreign land. The inscription at the top of the artwork translates to "Behold, these are not brave warriors who wander through foreign lands." This suggests a satirical tone, implying that these figures are not as noble or adventurous as they might appear. The etching's detailed and expressive lines capture the movement of the horses and riders, highlighting the journey's dynamic nature. The detailed rendering of the horses and riders, as well as the inscription, showcases Casembroot's skill in both technical execution and artistic storytelling.
