Vier liggende ovalen met putti 1573 - 1610

"Vier liggende ovalen met putti" (Four Lying Ovals with Putti) is an etching by Christoph Jamnitzer, a German goldsmith and printmaker who was active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This print features four oval medallions, each depicting a putto engaged in a different activity, such as riding a sea monster or fishing. The detailed and intricate details, characteristic of Jamnitzer's work, are rendered through the technique of etching, creating a sense of depth and realism. The work is a testament to Jamnitzer's mastery of the medium and his fascination with the human form.
