Coronis Changed into a Crow is a 1589 ink by Hendrik Goltzius, a Renaissance work, depicting Aeneas, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a woman turning into a crow in this engraving. She's surrounded by leaves and branches. The detail that makes this work interesting is the way the artist used lines to show the transformation, it's like you can see the change happening. The lines are very detailed and intricate, which suggests the artist put a lot of time into this work. The story behind the image is from mythology, which was a common inspiration for artists back then. Check out the work of artist: Goltzius, Hendrick to see more of his detailed engravings.
