Fontein met stroomgoden 1560 - 1598

This intricate engraving, "Fontein met stroomgoden" (Fountain with River Gods), was created by the German artist Wendel Dietterlin between 1560 and 1598. The detailed design features a central fountain with a figure of a river god, surrounded by four niches adorned with river gods and elaborate decorations, all crafted in a sophisticated and highly stylized manner. This artwork is representative of Dietterlin's interest in architectural ornamentation and the use of classical motifs, a testament to the flourishing Renaissance style in 16th-century Germany.
