Ontvoering van Helena before 1571

"Ontvoering van Helena" (The Abduction of Helen) is an etching by Pieter Jalhea Furnius, created before 1571. The print depicts the abduction of Helen of Troy, a pivotal event in Greek mythology that sparked the Trojan War. The scene is chaotic, showing a group of men struggling on a boat while others engage in combat on a bridge, a temple in the background. The print's detail and masterful use of light and shadow make it a notable example of Furnius's work.
