"Galathea" is a 1537 engraving by the Monogrammist CG, a German artist known for their detailed illustrations. The artwork depicts the mythological figure of Galatea, the daughter of the sea-god Nereus, riding on the back of a sea monster. The scene is framed by a landscape with a distant city and a large body of water. The meticulous detail of the sea monster's scales and the intricate folds of Galatea's dress showcases the artist's mastery of the medium. This engraving is a prime example of the artistic style of the Renaissance, blending classic mythology with precise rendering.
