"Element vuur als kind met bliksemschichten op rug van adelaar," is a 17th-century etching by Cornelis van (II) Dalen, depicting a winged cherub riding an eagle. The cherub, representing the element of fire, wields a lightning bolt in one hand and another object in the other. The cherub's stance and the clouds surrounding them depict the power and ferocity of fire. This artwork, created between 1648-1664, is a fine example of the Dutch Baroque style and can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
