Kustlandschap met Aeneas en de Sibille van Cumae Possibly 1777

Richard Earlom's "Kustlandschap met Aeneas en de Sibille van Cumae" (circa 1777), a print housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a picturesque coastal landscape. The scene depicts the mythological figures Aeneas and the Sibyl of Cumae, with a temple perched on a cliff in the background. The print is a faithful reproduction of a Claude Lorrain painting, capturing the characteristic atmospheric perspective and soft, light-drenched tones of the master. The work, created in the style of a landscape etching, exemplifies Earlom's meticulous and evocative approach to printmaking.
