Alle de werken van Lucianus den Samosatenser : nieuwlyks uit het Grieks vertaalt

Lucian, of Samosata, Hooghe, Romeyn de, 1645-1708 · 1679 · t'Amsterdam : By Johannes ten Hoorn ... · 13 pictures

A 1679 Dutch translation of the complete works of Lucian of Samosata, published in Amsterdam by Johannes ten Hoorn with etched illustrations by Romeyn de Hooghe for a general reading public. The pictures are small black-and-white etchings with dense crosshatching, showing classical scenes of gods, mortals and crowds, and a designer might take their compact narrative staging and dramatic use of smoke, clouds and angels as models for satirical or mythological imagery.
