Morning (Aurora) 1639 - 1698

"Morning (Aurora)," an anonymous etching from 1639-1698, depicts the Roman goddess Aurora. The print, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Aurora holding a flowering branch and an arrow, symbolizing her role as the bringer of light. The intricate details of her attire and the delicate lines of the engraving create a sense of grace and beauty, characteristic of Baroque art. The inscription at the bottom, partially visible in the image, likely provides further context about the work and the goddess's attributes.
