Pegasus 1593

Hans Strohmayer's "Pegasus" is an etching created in 1593, just a year before his untimely death at the age of 14. The small-scale artwork depicts the mythological winged horse in flight, soaring over a landscape with a snarling dog in the foreground. The detailed hatching and intricate lines create a sense of motion and power, highlighting the mythical creature's grace and strength. This etching is a testament to the young artist's talent and showcases the enduring appeal of classical mythology in Renaissance art.
