Nimf van de onsterfelijkheid 1738 - 1815

Francesco Bartolozzi's "Nimf van de onsterfelijkheid" (1738-1815) is a stipple engraving depicting a female figure, likely a nymph, crowned with a wreath of stars by a male figure. Surrounded by cherubs, the nymph stands on a platform, holding a torch, symbolizing the illumination of immortality. The engraving is set within a circular frame, likely representing the cyclical nature of life. Bartolozzi, renowned for his mastery of stipple engraving, expertly captures the flowing lines of the figures and the detailed landscape in this work.
