DE WET Jacob Willemsz (Haarlem, c. 1610–1671) – Amarillys Crowning Mirtil. Oil on canvas. Height: 102 cm – Width: 92 cm. The subject is taken from Giovanni Battista Guarini’s *Pastor Fido* (1590, Act II, Scene I). During the kissing contest organized by the companions of the nymph Amaryllis, her lover Mirtil participates in disguise as a woman so as not to be recognized.
