Psammeticus verliefd op Rhodope Possibly 1783

"The King Psammeticus of Egypt in Love with Rhodope" is a stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, likely created in 1783. The artwork, which measures 338mm x 372mm, depicts a scene from Greek mythology. The subject of the engraving is the story of Psammeticus, a king of Egypt, and Rhodope, a Greek slave who captured his heart. Bartolozzi’s engraving is a faithful reproduction of a painting by Angelica Kauffman, known for her Neoclassical style. The engraving captures the beauty and drama of Kauffman's original work, making it a valuable artifact for art lovers and historians interested in 18th-century art and mythology.
