This 1659 engraving, created by an anonymous artist, is a title page for a Dutch edition of Virgil's works, translated by Joost van den Vondel. The engraving features a variety of classical figures, including Roman emperor Augustus, the goddesses Ceres and Cybele, and two river gods. This piece exemplifies the style of 17th-century Dutch engraving and its continued connection to the classical world.
