Twee fauns dragen een kind in een mand 1513 - 1515

"Twee fauns dragen een kind in een mand" (Two Fauns Carrying a Child in a Basket) is a 16th-century engraving by Italian artist Marcantonio Raimondi, renowned for his mastery of the medium. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two fauns carrying a child in a basket. The scene, likely inspired by classical mythology, showcases Raimondi's ability to render anatomical detail and intricate textures. The composition's emphasis on muscular bodies and naturalistic poses is characteristic of High Renaissance art.
