Pendentief met Temperantia 1649 - 1734

This engraving, "Pendentief met Temperantia," created by Louis de Châtillon between 1649 and 1734, is a fine example of Baroque art. It showcases the artist's mastery of detail and composition, as seen in the intricate depiction of the allegorical figure of Temperance seated upon a cloud and a unicorn, surrounded by cherubs. De Châtillon's etching style adds depth and texture to the artwork, bringing the figures to life. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to de Châtillon's artistic legacy and the enduring power of allegorical imagery in Baroque art.
