Allegorische voorstelling met Neptunus en Cybele 1628 - 1670

"Allegorische voorstelling met Neptunus en Cybele" (Allegorical representation with Neptune and Cybele), a 17th-century etching by Pieter de Jode II, depicts a scene of classical mythology. The print portrays the god Neptune, holding a trident, and Cybele, the goddess of nature, as they are joined by a winged figure. The dynamic composition and masterful use of light and shadow create a striking visual effect, highlighting the interplay of the figures. This artwork is a fine example of the skill of Dutch printmaking in the 17th century.
