Panter before 1650

This detailed engraving, "Panter", was created by the Italian artist Antonio Tempesta before 1650. It depicts a panther walking through a landscape with other animals like deer and a lion. The artwork is a fine example of the scientific illustration genre, which was popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Tempesta, known for his animal studies, showcases the panther's anatomy and characteristics with precision and detail, highlighting the artist's keen observation and artistic skill.
