Plate 10 from Pietro Paulo Bissari, Antiopa 1662

This etching, Plate 10 from *Antiopa*, depicts a fantastical procession of winged figures and beasts, a common subject in Baroque art. The etching is a study for a larger work, *Antiopa*, a fresco created by Italian painter Pietro Paulo Bissari. Created by German artist Mathäus Küsel in 1662, the etching features a series of vignettes, arranged in three rows, each depicting a fantastical scene from the mythological story of Antiope. The intricate details of the figures and their whimsical movements, coupled with the artist's skilled use of light and shadow, contribute to the etching's captivating and whimsical nature.
