Strijd tussen de Grieken en de Amazones 1565 - 1630

"Strijd tussen de Grieken en de Amazones" is a dynamic etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created between 1565 and 1630. The scene depicts a fierce battle between Greek warriors and Amazonian women, capturing the chaos and energy of warfare. Tempesta's detailed style emphasizes the anatomical accuracy of the figures and the movement of the horses, adding a sense of realism to the scene. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful example of Tempesta's skill in depicting historical and mythological subjects.
