This is an etching or an engraving depicting a scene from classical mythology. To the left, there is a figure that appears to be a man standing on a plinth or pedestal, looking out to sea. He is wearing classical clothing, and behind him is a majestic column, suggesting a historical or mythological setting. To the right, we see a dramatic maritime scene involving a large, ornate vessel being overwhelmed by waves and possibly sinking. The ship's sails are billowing, and the stern is ornately decorated with what appears to be a face, while the bow features a large, pointed spur or figurehead. Particularly striking are the chaotic, swirling lines that represent the sea and the wind, contributing to the overall sense of movement and turmoil. The sky is filled with expressive clouds, amplifying the dramatic nature of the scene. At the bottom of the image is a caption that says, "Ceyx Clarum oraculum petens, tempestate in Aegeo mari obrutur." This translates to "Ceyx, seeking the clear oracle, is overwhelmed by a storm in the Aegean Sea." This caption indicates that the scene likely depicts the story of Ceyx, a figure from Greek mythology who perished at sea during a storm. This story is often associated with themes of tragedy and the capriciousness of fate.

This image appears to be an engraving or etching. It depicts a man standing on a pedestal, looking out towards a tumultuous sea where a ship seems to be in distress. The ship is highly stylized, with billowing sails and dramatic lines that convey a sense of chaos and movement. The man holds or is near a large shield or emblem, and there is a sense of urgency and drama in the scene. The inscription below the image reads: "Ceyx Clarum oraculum petens, tempestate in Aegæo mari obruitur." This Latin phrase can be translated to English as: "Ceyx, seeking the famous oracle, is overwhelmed by a storm in the Aegean Sea." This suggests that the image is illustrating a mythological or historical event, likely from Greek mythology, where Ceyx, a king, is caught in a storm at sea while searching for an oracle.

The image depicts a dramatic scene with fantastical and mythological elements. A large, winged creature resembling a mermaid or sea monster is shown emerging from the waves, while a figure wearing a long robe and holding what appears to be a lyre stands nearby. The sky is filled with swirling clouds and atmospheric effects, creating an otherworldly and foreboding atmosphere. The text below the image suggests that this scene is related to the story of Ceys Clarum, though I cannot identify any specific individuals depicted.

This is a historical etching or engraving depicting a scene from classical mythology. The image shows a figure standing on a pedestal while a ship is being overcome by rough seas in the background. The scene appears to be illustrating the story of Ceyx, as indicated by the Latin text at the bottom which roughly translates to "Ceyx seeking a clear oracle, is overwhelmed by a storm in the Aegean sea." The artwork shows dramatic waves and stormy clouds, with a ship being tossed in the turbulent waters. The composition has a classical style typical of Renaissance or Baroque period illustrations, with fine line work and cross-hatching techniques. The figure stands in a contrapposto pose typical of classical statuary, while the maritime disaster unfolds behind them. This likely depicts a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Ceyx's ill-fated journey across the Aegean Sea led to tragedy. The dramatic contrast between the calm, stable figure in the foreground and the chaos of the storm in the background creates a powerful narrative tension in the composition.

The image is a black-and-white illustration of a man standing on a pedestal, holding a harp. The man has short hair and is wearing a long robe that is draped over his left shoulder. He is standing on a round pedestal with a flat top, and his right hand is resting on the harp. The harp is tall and narrow, with a curved neck and a series of strings that are not clearly visible. In the background, there is a large wave crashing against the shore. The wave is depicted in a stylized manner, with curved lines and swirling patterns. There are also some clouds in the sky, which are also depicted in a stylized manner. At the bottom of the image, there is a caption in Latin that reads "Ceyx Clarium oraculum petens, tempestate in Aegeo mari obruitur." This translates to "Ceyx seeks the oracle of Claros, but is overwhelmed by a storm in the Aegean Sea." Overall, the image appears to be an illustration from an ancient Greek or Roman text, possibly depicting a scene from mythology or literature. The style of the illustration suggests that it may have been created during the Renaissance period, when there was a renewed interest in classical culture and learning.
