Latona en de Lycische boeren 1690 - 1710

"Latona en de Lycische boeren" (Latona and the Lycian Peasants), a 17th-century etching by Gerrit Visscher, depicts the Greek myth of Latona being transformed into a frog by the Lycian peasants. This small-scale print is characteristic of Visscher's style and showcases his skill in rendering fine detail. The ornate frame surrounding the central scene adds to the composition's intricate elegance, typical of Baroque art. This scene, rich in symbolism and drama, was a popular subject in art, showcasing the power of divine retribution.
