Vignet met de Furieën 1727

This etching, "Vignet met de Furieën," created by Dutch artist Bernard Picart in 1727, depicts three female figures, the Furies, in a dramatic landscape. The Furies, vengeful goddesses in Greek mythology, are shown in a chaotic and fiery setting, emphasizing their destructive power. The intricate details and dramatic composition exemplify the artistic style of the Baroque period, a time of heightened emotion and theatricality in art. This small-scale artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to Picart's mastery of etching and his fascination with mythological themes.
