Frame van rolwerk met twee saters, een herme en een kind 1516 - 1556

This anonymous engraving, dated 1516 - 1556, is a prime example of a Mannerist frame design. The composition is complex and symmetrical, featuring a variety of elements, including satyrs, herms, a child, and a central figure. The artist uses strong lines and delicate details to create a sense of movement and energy. This intricate piece was intended for decorative purposes, possibly to adorn a book or a piece of furniture. The combination of grotesque and classical elements is a hallmark of Mannerism, an artistic movement that challenged Renaissance ideals of balance and harmony. The engraving is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
