Tithonus en Aurora before 1765

"Tithonus en Aurora" is an etching by Louis Simon Lempereur, created before 1765. The artwork depicts the mythological figures Tithonus and Aurora, a mortal man granted immortality by the goddess of dawn, but left to age without ever dying. The composition features dramatic and evocative details, with the depiction of Aurora scattering flowers and the cherubs adding a touch of whimsy. This print, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, stands as a testament to Lempereur's talent and his mastery of the etching technique.
