"Vuur" (Fire) is an engraving by Flemish artist Johann Sadeler I, created between 1560 and 1600. It features a female figure representing fire, holding a torch with a lizard and a volcano in the background. The scene emphasizes the element's power and destructive nature. This intricate engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Sadeler's skilled use of light and shadow to create a dynamic and engaging depiction of this elemental force.
