Fire is a 1587 ink by Jan Sadeler I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a muscular figure with wings, holding a flaming torch in one hand. His face is intense, hair wild, and he’s mid-motion, like he’s throwing something. The background swirls with clouds and fire, giving a sense of chaos and power. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth, focusing on the figure’s strength. This style was common in engravings of the time. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
