"Jason en Medea op bezoek bij Pelias op Iolcus" (Jason and Medea visiting Pelias at Iolcus) is an etching created in 1563 by the French artist René Boyvin (1525-1598). The print depicts a scene from Greek mythology, in which Jason and Medea visit Pelias, the King of Iolcus. The scene is framed by decorative elements and figures, creating a complex and ornate composition. The print is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 160 mm in height and 232 mm in width. Boyvin's work is notable for its skillful rendering of detail and its masterful use of light and shadow. This work is a good example of Renaissance art in the northern European context.
