I'm intrigued and often perplexed by this artist's works.
He was famous in his lifetime.
He seems to be largely forgotten already.
He has a deep knowledge of classical myths and legends.
This is my favourite.

The title given on the internet is ANIMATED RURAL LANDSCAPE ... well, that might be a cataloguer's functional description but I doubt Decaris would have given it such a title.
The only decent internet image was presented slightly askew and the bottom left corner had been cropped.
The print was made towards the end of the Second World War when there were battles all around and the Whole World was filled with TERROR, and so I wonder if it isn't ( possibly / maybe ) some kind of allegory of PEACE ?
Am gonna have to do more research.
here are some links to his background ...

there is a huge kind of catalogue written by his daughter which is available to purchase online ...
