This is an engraving showing a scene with dramatic action taking place. In the foreground, one character, seemingly in a state of distress and desperation, is plunging into turbulent waves of the sea. His body is angled downwards with arms outstretched, suggesting a fall into the water. Above him, on a rocky outcrop, another figure, this one clothed in flowing garments, is shown leaping or lunging forward, possibly in an attempt to assist the first character or in reaction to the unfolding events. The background features a somewhat stormy sky and rough seas, contributing to the overall atmosphere of urgency and danger. There is some text below the image that seems to serve as a caption or title for the scene, suggesting that it is an illustration from a literary source or historical narrative. The image is detailed, with a dynamic composition that conveys a sense of movement and action.

This image appears to be an etching or engraving that depicts a dramatic scene featuring several human figures. The main focus is on two human figures that seem to be falling or leaping from a rocky cliff into the sea. The person in the foreground is seen falling head first with an expression of distress, dressed in flowing garments. The person behind appears to be leaping or falling as well but with one arm reaching out as if trying to grab hold of something or someone. Above these two figures, there is a smaller, cherubic figure with wings and some sort of stringed musical instrument, possibly a lyre, which is characteristic of classical depictions of angels or cupids. In the background to the left, there is a burning ship, contributing to the overall sense of drama and urgency. To the right of the ship, the sea is depicted with waves crashing against the cliffs. Overall, the scene is highly dynamic and filled with emotional intensity, illustrated through the dramatic poses, flowing garments, and turbulent waters. There is also an inscription at the bottom that is in French, which translates to "MENTOR seeing his ship burned, and fearing that TELEMACHUS might succumb to the power of Love, throws himself with him into the sea," indicating the figures might be related to the characters Mentor and Telemachus from ancient mythology.

This is a dramatic historical engraving that appears to be from 1724, depicting a scene from the story of Mentor and Telemachus. The image shows two figures plunging into a turbulent sea from a rocky cliff. One figure appears to be pushing or carrying the other into the water. In the background, there's a burning ship visible, and in the sky, there appears to be a small winged figure (possibly representing Cupid or Amor). The scene is rendered in fine detail with classical artistic techniques typical of 18th-century engravings. The waves are depicted with strong, dynamic lines, and the rocky coastline provides a dramatic backdrop. At the bottom of the image, there's a caption in French that explains the scene: Mentor, seeing his ship burning and fearing that Telemachus might succumb to the power of Love, throws himself with him into the sea.

The image depicts a dramatic mythological scene engraved in black and white. In the foreground, a male figure lies on his back, apparently falling or struggling. Behind him, a woman frantically reaches out, her drapery billowing as if being blown by the wind. To the right, putti or cherubs are also tumbling among the waves, adding to the chaotic, turbulent mood. The scene takes place near a rocky shore with cliffs and trees visible in the background. The churning sea and stormy sky enhance the sense of peril and heightened emotion conveyed by the figures' poses and expressions. Below the image, a caption in French identifies it as showing Mentor pushing Telemachus into the sea to save him from love, as told in a story by Fenelon. The precise linework, shading and composition make it a striking example of 18th century engraving and mythological art.

The image depicts a dramatic scene from a mythological or allegorical story. It shows a male figure, who appears to be Mentor, guiding or pulling another figure, presumably Telemachus, away from falling into the raging waters of the sea. There are various mythical or fantastical elements present, such as the winged figures in the sky and the turbulent, churning waves. The overall composition and style suggest this is an engraved illustration or print from a literary work, rather than a direct depiction of a real-world scene.

The image depicts a scene from classical mythology, featuring two figures in a dramatic pose. The central figure is a man dressed in ancient attire, with his arms outstretched and his body arched backward as he falls into the water below. Above him, another figure is shown in mid-air, also dressed in ancient clothing, with their arms extended downward toward the falling man. In the background, there are several other figures visible, including what appears to be a group of people gathered on the shore. The overall atmosphere of the image suggests a sense of drama and tension, as if the falling man is being pulled down into the depths of the ocean by some unseen force. The use of muted colors and the classical style of the figures adds to the sense of antiquity and mythological significance.
