"Liggende stier met een slakkenhuis als achterlijf" is an engraving created by German goldsmith Christoph Jamnitzer between 1573 and 1610. The print depicts a reclining bull with a snail shell as its hindquarters, surrounded by a swirling array of grotesque figures and fantastical plants. This piece embodies the Mannerist style, characterized by its intricate details and fantastical forms, and serves as a testament to Jamnitzer's mastery of the goldsmith's art, which he translated into printmaking.
