Art Historical Context
**Liefde in het Gouden tijdperk (Love in the Golden Age)** Created around 1589–1595, this engraving by Agostino Carracci captures the idyllic theme of love during the mythological Golden Age, an era of harmony and innocence from classical lore. Measuring 216 × 294 mm, it forms part of a rare series of four prints, with Carracci responsible for two alongside contributions from Flemish engravers Justus or Aegidius Sadeler. These works faithfully reproduce paintings attributed to Paolo Fiammingo (Paolo de Vriendt), a Flemish artist active in Italy, now housed in Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum...
