Satyrfamilie tussen wijnranken 1510 - 1550

This 16th-century anonymous woodcut depicts a scene of satyrs amidst a tangled vine, likely inspired by classical mythology. The symmetrical composition features two satyrs, a pair of reclining figures, and two birds, all intertwined within the intricate vines and grapes. The artist’s use of delicate lines and cross-hatching creates a detailed and realistic representation of the scene, suggesting a period of artistic exploration and appreciation for the natural world. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the Netherlands.
