Drie figuren rond een brandende offerzuil in een tempel 1759

"Drie figuren rond een brandende offerzuil in een tempel" (Three figures around a burning sacrificial pillar in a temple) is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke created in 1759. The print depicts a scene from Greek mythology featuring three figures: a young boy, a woman with a crown and a man with a beard. The group stands around a burning pillar, set against a background of a classical temple. The scene is a testament to Fokke's mastery of etching, evident in the detailed rendering of the figures and the architectural elements. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the 18th-century Dutch artistic engagement with classical themes and narratives.
