This intricate engraving, "Vlakdecoratie met grotesken, in het midden staat een kandelaber," by German artist Daniel Hopfer, showcases the flourishing ornamentation of the Renaissance. The composition, crafted between 1480 and 1536, features a central candelabrum adorned with fantastical creatures and grotesque figures, all woven together with intricate foliage and decorative elements. Hopfer's work, a prime example of the ornamental prints of his time, exemplifies the artistic spirit of the early 16th century in Germany, drawing influence from both classical and fantastical motifs.
