Dies III (Third Day)

About this work

This engraving shows a chaotic scene with three winged figures tangled in swirling clouds and stormy waves. One figure clutches a spear, another holds a wreath, and the third looks down with a sad expression. Below them, a half-naked person lies on the waves, while a small child clings to their side. The background is packed with dramatic, jagged lines and dark, swirling shapes. The title *Dies III* suggests this is part of a series about days or seasons, but the exact story isn’t clear just from the image. The figures might represent forces of nature or mythological characters, but their exact identities aren’t obvious. If you like this dramatic style, look up engraving to see how artists create depth with just lines.
