Allegorie op de overwinning van de liefde op de dood 1751 - 1816

"Allegorie op de overwinning van de liefde op de dood" (Allegory of the Victory of Love Over Death) is an etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles, created between 1751 and 1816. The artwork depicts a winged figure of Love, standing triumphantly over Death, who is lying on the ground. The scene is framed by a classical archway and lush foliage, symbolizing the triumph of love and life over death. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Vinkeles's mastery of detail and his ability to convey complex themes through simple yet powerful imagery.
