Filosofie en prelatuur 1768 - 1771

"Filosofie en prelatuur" is an etching by French artist Jean-Charles Delafosse, created between 1768 and 1771. This intricate design displays two framed scenes, both with decorative ornamentation. The top scene depicts a figure on a cloud reaching towards the sun with a kneeling figure below, representing philosophy. The bottom scene, representing prelature, features a pillar, an urn, and a ship, all surrounded by elaborate framing elements. Delafosse's work is known for its detailed compositions and skilled use of line, making it a notable example of 18th-century decorative engraving.
