Apollo met portret van Caspar Brandt 1702

This engraving, *Apollo met portret van Caspar Brandt*, by Christoffel Lubienitzki, is a visual representation of the poet Caspar Brandt, who is portrayed in a medallion held by a putto. The central figure of Apollo, the god of music and poetry, plays a lyre and sits at the top of a set of stairs. The scene features a classical landscape with an obelisk and a pyramid, emphasizing the classical inspiration behind Brandt's poetry. The image is a good example of engravings that were common in the 17th and 18th centuries, as it showcases both portraiture and allegory. The engraving is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
