Pieter de Balliu

Pieter de Balliu is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Dutch printmakers in the 1600s loved dramatic scenes with horses and crowds. Pieter de Balliu carved *The Rape of Hippodamia*, a mid-17th-century print showing a myth about runaway horses dragging a bride off her chariot. Look closely—he packed every inch with muscle, cloth, and panic. Want to see how the same myth played out on canvas? Tap *The Rape of the Sabine Women* by Nicolas Poussin.
