Etienne Delaune's "Apollo op zijn wagen" is a small, oval-shaped engraving depicting Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, riding in a chariot pulled by two horses. The engraving is part of a series of prints created by Delaune between 1528 and 1583. The detailed composition, featuring classical imagery of deities and mythology, is typical of the Renaissance era's fascination with ancient Greek and Roman art. "Apollo op zijn wagen" is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
