Fama met twee bazuinen 1573 - 1610

Christoph Jamnitzer's "Fama met twee bazuinen" is an engraving depicting the Roman goddess Fama, or Rumor, as a winged figure with two trumpets. Standing on a globe, she blows a horn, broadcasting news across the land. Surrounded by other angelic figures, she represents the power of fame and spreading information, a concept that resonated in 16th-century Europe. The etching style and detail are characteristic of Jamnitzer's work, which often explored allegorical themes. This print exemplifies his skill in representing both the beauty and power of classical myth.
