This 16th-century print, created by an anonymous artist, depicts a winged woman standing within a sunburst. Surrounding her are various fantastical creatures and allegorical figures, including a skeletal figure, a crescent moon, and a cross. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of the elaborate imagery popular during this period. It highlights the artist's skill in depicting intricate details and symbolic meaning in a small format. This piece, likely a design for a decorative object, exemplifies the artistic spirit of the Renaissance and its fascination with the mystical and the symbolic.
