Etienne Delaune French
Not on view
Engraving, part of a set of 12 mythological scenes, created by Etienne Delaune in Strasbourg in 1573. Each scene is presented inside an oval frame made up of two thin ovals, which contains an inscription for the scene. In this engraving, Cephalus stands at the center of the composition, between Diana, on the left, turning away from him, and Procris, to the right, who returns to him two gifts from Minos: a javelin that never misses its objective, and a dog that never lets its prey escape.
