This 1606 etching by Antonio Tempesta, entitled "Jason does the dragon fall asleep," depicts the Greek hero Jason, from the myth of the Golden Fleece, subduing the fearsome dragon guarding the fleece with a magical potion. The intricate details of the dragon's scales and Jason's armor are meticulously rendered in this small, but striking, print. "Jason doet de draak inslapen" is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
