Een dans 1565 - 1630

"Een dans" is an etching created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta between 1565 and 1630. This dynamic scene depicts a lively dance with multiple figures, including a musician playing a bagpipe and another playing a tambourine. The composition is dense and energetic, capturing the excitement of the event. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Tempesta's skill in depicting the human form and capturing the energy of movement. The artwork's small dimensions, measuring 181 mm in height and 131 mm in width, make it a compact and intimate portrayal of a social gathering.
