"Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: Naked Man Pursuing a Naiad" is an engraving by Marco Dente, created between 1510 and 1520. The artwork depicts a nude man, possibly a god, pursuing a naiad, or water nymph, who is fleeing into the water. Cupid, the god of love, watches the scene unfold. This engraving is a beautiful example of the style of the Italian Renaissance, featuring strong, detailed figures and a sense of drama. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses the artwork in their collection.
