Silvia en Aminta 1640

"Silvia en Aminta" is a pair of engravings created by Crispijn van de Passe II in 1640. This print depicts two figures, Silvia and Aminta, in oval frames. Each figure is presented in an idealized pastoral setting, reflecting the popular genre of pastoral art prevalent during the 17th century. The delicate lines and intricate details of the engravings showcase van de Passe's mastery of the art form. These engravings, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offer a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the Dutch Golden Age.
