Leeuwen en luipaard in een landschap 1583

This 1583 engraving by Marcus Gheeraerts depicts a scene with three animals: a lion, a lioness, and a leopard. They are all in a landscape setting, with a distant castle in the background. Gheeraerts was a Flemish artist known for his detailed, realistic depictions of animals. This print is a fine example of his talent for capturing the essence of his subjects in a clear and precise style. The engraving is also notable for its delicate handling of light and shadow. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam holds this small, but masterful work by Gheeraerts, showcasing his intricate artistry.
