This 17th-century engraving by Antonio Tempesta, "Geit met één hoorn," depicts a mythical creature with a single horn, resembling a goat. The image is a fine example of the artist's skill in rendering detailed, realistic animal forms. Set against a simple landscape with two small, stylized trees and two lions in the foreground, the focus is on the imposing mythical beast. The intricate lines and shading create a sense of depth and texture, giving the creature a lifelike quality. The engraving is a testament to the fascination with fantastical creatures and their representations in art during the Renaissance.
