Zethus en Amphion binden Dirce aan de horens van een wilde stier 1675 - 1680

This etching by Dutch artist Richard Collin depicts the mythological scene of Zethus and Amphion tying Dirce to the horns of a wild bull. The artwork, created between 1675 and 1680, showcases Collin's mastery of line and detail, creating a powerful and dramatic narrative. The scene, set on a rocky outcrop, captures the tension and desperation of Dirce as she is bound to the enraged beast. Zethus and Amphion, with their determined expressions, are depicted as righteous figures enacting justice. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the enduring power of classical mythology and Collin's artistic skill.
