Meleager geeft de kop van het Caledonische zwijn aan Atalanta 1683 - 1710

"Meleager geeft de kop van het Caledonische zwijn aan Atalanta" is an engraving by Dutch artist Bernard Picart from the 17th century, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The etching depicts a scene from Greek mythology, the Calydonian Boar Hunt, where Meleager presents the head of the boar to Atalanta. Picart’s depiction is a fine example of the Rococo style, known for its elegant curves and graceful lines. The work features a dramatic composition, a clear division between foreground and background, and the use of light and shadow to highlight key figures.
