Een leeuwin een paard aanvallend 1600

Antonio Tempesta's etching, "Een leeuwin een paard aanvallend" (A Lioness Attacking a Horse), is a powerful depiction of nature's raw power and the struggle for survival. Created in 1600, the artwork captures the dramatic moment of the lioness's attack, with the horse's body contorted in agony and the lioness's powerful musculature evident in every detail. The etching's intricate lines create a sense of depth and realism, showcasing Tempesta's masterful technique in rendering animal anatomy and capturing the ferocity of the scene. This print is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the enduring appeal of this dynamic and intensely detailed animalistic encounter.
