Waternimf Lerna 1587

"Waternimf Lerna" is an engraving by Philips Galle, a renowned printmaker from Antwerp, dating back to 1587. The artwork depicts a nude nymph, Lerna, sitting on a rock by a lake, pouring water from a pitcher. The detailed composition and the artist's mastery of light and shadow contribute to the realistic and evocative representation of the mythical figure, demonstrating the skill of the Northern Renaissance engraving style. This print is a testament to Galle's ability to translate the works of other artists into his own unique style.
