Atalanta en Meleager doden het zwijn 1606

This 1606 etching by Antonio Tempesta depicts the Greek mythological scene of Atalanta and Meleager killing the Calydonian Boar. The artwork shows Atalanta, the skilled huntress, aiming an arrow at the boar, while Meleager, a prince and hunter, holds onto her arm. The boar, already wounded, lies at their feet, with a dog watching the scene. This engraving, part of a series on classical myths, showcases Tempesta's mastery of detail and his talent for capturing dramatic narratives in a dynamic composition.
