Ornament met vijfogig fantasiewezen 1520 - 1562

This 16th century print, created by the Monogrammist AC, is a fantastic example of Renaissance ornament design. The small, detailed print depicts a grotesque creature, a mix of human and animal, within an elaborate arrangement of stylized foliage and serpents. This whimsical composition showcases the fascination with mythical creatures and decorative patterns that characterized the art of the period. The print, "Ornament met vijfogig fantasiewezen", is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a testament to the imaginative spirit of the Renaissance.
