Vlakdecoratie met grotesken 1607

Lucas Kilian's "Vlakdecoratie met grotesken," created in 1607, is an engraving of a complex, intricate design. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of the Mannerist style with its swirling lines, exaggerated forms, and intricate details. The design is filled with grotesque figures, stylized foliage, and architectural elements, all meticulously rendered in fine detail. Kilian’s work is both decorative and symbolic, offering a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the early 17th century.
