Toneelschrijver Paul Scarron danst met saters, faunen en maenaden / Aeneas redt zijn vader uit het brandende Troje 1703 - 1767

This etching by Jacob Folkema, created between 1703 and 1767, depicts two scenes from classical mythology. On the left, satyrs, fauns, and maenads dance around a seated satyr playing a flute, while a figure representing the playwright Paul Scarron (1610-1660) dances among them. The right side portrays Aeneas rescuing his father Anchises from the burning city of Troy, a scene from Virgil's epic poem "The Aeneid". Folkema's detailed style and the clear narrative of the scenes make these engravings engaging and educational for viewers interested in both classical mythology and 18th-century Dutch art.
