The image is a detailed etching or engraving depicting a chaotic scene with classical figures, likely from a mythological story. In the foreground, we see a muscular, half-human, half-equine figure—presumably a centaur—in motion. The creature holds a thyrus (a staff twined with ivy and topped with a pine cone), which is common in classical imagery, especially related to Dionysian contexts.

The centaur seems to be lunging toward the right side of the picture, creating a sense of movement and aggression within the scene. Behind this figure, there's another centaur, also engaged in the tumultuous action, seemingly clashing with other figures on the right.

In the background, one can observe several objects that resemble ancient vessels and structures that might be part of a feast or ceremony, suggesting that the scene represents a narrative where a celebration is being violently interrupted.

Text at the bottom of the image provides context to the illustration, describing the scene as a moment from a mythological story that involves violence at a wedding, although the exact narrative is not explicitly clear from the image alone. The style of the drawing suggests it is from a late Renaissance or early Baroque period, given the attention to muscular detail in the figures and the dynamic composition typical of that era's depiction of dramatic mythological scenes.

This image is an engraving depicting a dramatic scene with multiple figures in a violent confrontation. At the center, a centaur and a human are engaged in a struggle. The centaur, a mythical creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, is grappling with a human who is trying to fend off an attack. Surrounding them, several other characters are involved in the skirmish, wielding weapons and presenting an atmosphere of chaos. The environment appears to be indoors with a table and some fallen objects suggesting an interrupted banquet or gathering. Below the illustration, there is a caption in Latin: "Cae­neus in Perithoi nuptijs a Centauris interficitur," which translates to "Caeneus at the wedding of Pirithous is killed by Centaurs."

This is a classical engraving depicting a violent mythological scene. The image shows the death of Caeneus at the hands of Centaurs, as indicated by the Latin caption below which reads "Caeneus in Perithoi nuptys a Centauris interficitur" (Caeneus is killed by the Centaurs at Pirithous' wedding).

The Centaurs (half-man, half-horse creatures from Greek mythology) are shown piling up and attacking their victim. The scene is full of movement and chaos, with bodies twisting and turning in an aggressive battle scene.

This appears to be from a series of classical mythological illustrations, likely from the 16th or 17th century, given the artistic style and engraving technique used.

The image depicts a scene from the ancient Greek epic poem, the Iliad, specifically the duel between Ajax and Hector. The illustration is attributed to the Flemish artist Jan Saenredam and dates back to the 17th century.

In the foreground, Ajax, a Greek warrior, is shown charging towards Hector, a Trojan prince, with his spear raised high. Hector, on the other hand, is depicted in a defensive stance, holding his shield and sword. The two warriors are surrounded by a chaotic scene of battle, with other soldiers and horses in the background.

The illustration is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and shading that convey a sense of movement and energy. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the dramatic effect of the scene.

The text at the bottom of the image reads "Caneus in Perithoi nuptijs a Centauris interficitur," which translates to "Caneus is killed by centaurs at the wedding of Perithous." This suggests that the illustration is part of a larger series of scenes from the Iliad, and that it may be intended to depict a specific moment or episode from the epic poem.

Overall, the image is a powerful and evocative representation of the ancient Greek warrior culture, and it provides a glimpse into the artistic style and techniques of the 17th century.
