Erichthonius uit zijn mand gelaten 1650 - 1682

"Erichthonius uit zijn mand gelaten" is an etching by Jean Lepautre from 1650 to 1682. The artwork depicts a formal garden with a central fountain and a building in the background. The scene is framed by tall cypress trees and the design includes intricate details, such as the garden's geometric pattern and the decorative elements of the fountain. The etching was made for a publication of Ovid's Metamorphoses and illustrates the story of Erichthonius, the mythical king of Athens. This artwork is a fine example of the intricate designs and details that were typical of Baroque art, and it captures the grandeur and symmetry of formal gardens.
