Fontein met twee etages before 1703

"Fontein met twee etages" is an anonymous etching from before 1703 that depicts a grand fountain in a formal garden setting. The artwork is a visual representation of a classical myth, with the text below describing the story of Salmaris and Hermaphrodite. The composition is symmetrical, with the fountain as the central focus, flanked by trees and figures. The intricate detail of the fountain, the surrounding landscape, and the figures adds to the artistic value of this work, creating an engaging and thought-provoking depiction of classical myth and garden design. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into the artistic and cultural landscape of the 17th century.
