Grandes viajes, plate 1648
Artista: Theodor de Bry
Siglo XVI · América
Colección: Theodor de Bry
This elaborate plate, attributed to Theodor de Bry, presents an allegory of temporality and divine justice, where a winged figure holds a scale and a Latin inscription warning about the end of all things by time, standing over a skeleton. The central composition is richly framed by an early Mannerist or Baroque design, replete with scrolls, chimeras, and vegetal motifs. Characteristic of 16th or early 17th-century engravings, this work exhibits meticulous copperplate etching and likely formed part of a series with a moral or philosophical background.
