This etching, "Olympus naked seated on a tree stump holding pipes, set within a niche", is a classic example of Marco Dente's work. Dated 1510–32, the print is attributed to the artist despite his short lifespan. It features a nude figure, possibly the Greek god Olympus, playing pan pipes while sitting on a tree stump. The subject is set within a niche, creating a sense of depth and dimension. Dente's masterful use of light and shadow adds a strong sense of realism to the figure, characteristic of his style. The work is a testament to Dente's skill and remains a notable example of the Renaissance etching technique.
