Reproductie van een prent van groteske ornamenten door Lucas van Leyden before 1872

This small-scale reproduction of a print by Lucas van Leyden, created before 1872 by Simonau & Toovey, showcases a detailed ornamental design featuring intertwined mythical creatures and stylized foliage. The intricate composition, typical of the grotesque style, exemplifies the artistic trends of the 16th century, a period renowned for its fascination with the fantastical and the macabre. The image is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of decorative art.
