"Aristotle and Phyllis, Surrounded by a Young Man and Woman with Eros, and a Reclining Nude Woman with Two Children" (Hind A.I.26; Bartsch 29) is an engraving attributed to the Italian artist Baccio Baldini. The work is believed to have been created in the 15th century, during the Italian Renaissance, a period known for its artistic innovation and emphasis on classical revival. Baldini was a Florentine goldsmith and engraver, who is often associated with the circle of the famous artist and architect Sandro Botticelli.

The engraving depicts the popular medieval legend of Aristotle and Phyllis, which tells the story of the great philosopher Aristotle being seduced by Phyllis, the mistress of his student Alexander the Great. According to the tale, Phyllis rides Aristotle like a horse to demonstrate the power of a woman's influence over even the wisest of men. This scene is often interpreted as a moral lesson on the dangers of lust and the folly of intellectual pride.

In Baldini's rendition, the central figures of Aristotle and Phyllis are accompanied by additional characters, including a young man and woman with Eros, the Greek god of love, and a reclining nude woman with two children. These surrounding figures may serve to further contextualize the central narrative or provide additional allegorical or moral commentary.

Baccio Baldini's work is characterized by its fine line work and attention to detail, which are evident in this engraving. His engravings are considered to be among the earliest examples of the medium in Italy, reflecting the influence of both Northern European printmaking and the Italian artistic tradition.

The engraving is catalogued with the reference "Hind A.I.26" in Arthur Mayger Hind's catalog of early Italian engravings and "Bartsch 29" in Adam von Bartsch's "Le Peintre graveur." These references are standard in the field of art history for identifying and discussing prints.

As an artwork from the Italian Renaissance, "Aristotle and Phyllis, Surrounded by a Young Man and Woman with Eros, and a Reclining Nude Woman with Two Children" offers insight into the period's cultural and artistic preoccupations, as well as the transmission of classical and medieval stories through visual art. The engraving is a valuable piece for the study of iconography, Renaissance art, and the history of printmaking.
