Allegorie op het ochtendgloren met personificatie van Aurora 1741 - 1820

Abraham Delfos' "Allegorie op het ochtendgloren met personificatie van Aurora" is a small, detailed engraving dating from 1741 to 1820. The image depicts a personification of Aurora, the Roman goddess of the dawn, standing on a globe while holding a torch and a crown. She is flanked by a winged figure and a clock tower, symbolizing the passing of time. This artwork highlights the Dutch artistic tradition of allegory, where symbolic elements are used to represent abstract concepts. This engraving, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Delfos' artistic skill, capturing the essence of time and light with a delicate touch.
