Portret van Arrigo Caterino Davila 1644

This engraving, titled "Portret van Arrigo Caterino Davila" was created in 1644 by Grégoire Huret, a French artist born in 1606. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a portrait of Arrigo Caterino Davila, an Italian historian, sitting at a desk with books and a helmet. Huret's use of shadow and light creates a sense of depth and realism in the image. The inscription below the portrait in the image further adds context to the artwork, suggesting that Davila is associated with war, history, and knowledge.
