Jupiter verandert koning Lycaon in een wolf c. 1636 - 1670

This etching by Crispijn van de Passe II depicts the biblical story of King Lycaon being transformed into a wolf by Jupiter. It portrays the moment when Lycaon offers a meal of human flesh to Jupiter in a daring test of the god's divinity. The print uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a dramatic and unsettling atmosphere. This artwork, created between 1636 and 1670, is a testament to van de Passe's mastery of detail and storytelling through etching. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, a testament to its artistic merit.
