Personificaties van Schilderkunst, Graveerkunst en Beeldhouwkunst c. 1610 - 1634

"Personificaties van Schilderkunst, Graveerkunst en Beeldhouwkunst" (c. 1610 - 1634) by Willem Panneels is an etching that depicts the allegorical personifications of painting, engraving, and sculpture. The print features a central figure representing painting, holding a palette and brushes, with a putto above and a snake-like creature below. The composition is circular, emphasizing the unity and interconnectedness of the arts. Panneels, a Flemish artist who died young, created a complex and visually arresting scene that highlights the importance of these disciplines in the early 17th century.
