Badende nimfen 1670 - 1713

"Badende nimfen" is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk. Created between 1670 and 1713, it depicts five nude figures bathing in a river. The artwork features a tranquil landscape with lush greenery and a distant mountain range, creating a sense of serenity. Schenk's masterful use of light and shadow gives the figures a lifelike quality, and the etching demonstrates the artist's technical skill and eye for detail. Currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, this etching exemplifies the popularity of mythological scenes in Dutch art during this era.
