Babyloniër 1569

"Babyloniër" is an engraving by Ferando Bertelli, a 16th-century Italian artist. It depicts a bearded figure in a turban, wielding a spear and a sword. The inscription on the sign below likely identifies the subject, who is standing on what appears to be a rocky terrain. This artwork exemplifies the detailed and expressive style characteristic of Renaissance engravings, and serves as a visual representation of the historical and mythological figure of the Babylonian king.
