Roem 1778 - 1785

"Roem" (Fame) is an engraving by Dutch artist Noach van der Meer (II), created between 1778 and 1785. The artwork depicts a classical figure, likely representing Fame, standing before a monument inscribed with a Dutch verse. The figure's pose and the surrounding elements like a trumpet and a book suggest a celebration of achievement and recognition, typical of the concept of Fame. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Neoclassical art with its focus on classical themes and idealized forms, showcasing the artistic style of the late 18th century.
