This engraving titled "Apollo" by Giovanni Battista Piranesi depicts the Greek god Apollo standing with his bow and arrow resting on a tree trunk. The image was originally created as a dedication to a patron, and is likely based on a sculpture in the Medici gardens, which is now located in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. Piranesi's work is known for its detailed depiction of Classical art and architecture, making this a particularly beautiful and historically significant piece.
