Twelve Children Dancing 1517

"Twelve Children Dancing" (1517) is an etching by Domenico Campagnola, depicting a lively scene of cherubic figures dancing in a playful, almost chaotic fashion. The composition is filled with overlapping bodies, creating a sense of energetic movement. This work, executed with masterful line work, showcases Campagnola's ability to capture the essence of youthful exuberance. The print’s small dimensions, 9.9 x 13 cm, further emphasize the intimacy and joy of the subject.
