Reblogged this on Art History Ramblings.
Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome.
I like how rich this image is with detail. There’s quite a bit for the eyes to do.
I can’t imagine the number of hours required to etch this level of detail.
That picture has some eyes of it’s own
I love the little hidden details and symbolism.
That snake is sporting a suspicious lump.
He ate something that disagreed with him.
I think the disagreement was over religion, but I can’t be sure.
Stop diagnosing the snake!
