Drie Furiën en Cerberus 1654 - 1657

This etching, "Drie Furiën en Cerberus," by Dutch artist Josias English, was created between 1654 and 1657. The detailed work depicts three furies and Cerberus, the three-headed dog guarding the underworld in Greek mythology, all intricately woven together in a composition typical of Renaissance-era art. English, born in 1649, was known for his intricate and detailed etchings, often featuring mythical creatures. This particular piece showcases his skill in capturing the grotesque yet fascinating qualities of these figures through precise lines and shading.
