Verering van Venus door putti, nimfen en saters 1861 - 1889

This etching, created between 1861 and 1889 by German artist William Unger, depicts a scene of revelry surrounding the goddess Venus. Unger, known for his mastery of detail and his focus on classical themes, fills the composition with playful putti, nymphs, and satyrs, creating a joyous atmosphere. The scene is set within a lush, forest-like landscape, adding to the sense of celebration and natural beauty. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, providing visitors a glimpse into Unger's artistic vision and his interpretation of classical mythology.
