Apollo en de muzen op de Parnassus 1677 - 1755

"Apollo en de muzen op de Parnassus" is a watercolor drawing by Elias van Nijmegen (1667 - 1755). The artwork, which depicts Apollo, the Greek god of music, surrounded by the Muses, is a depiction of the famous Mount Parnassus, the sacred mountain of the Muses. The scene is set amongst lush trees with a winged horse in the upper right corner. The work is an excellent example of the Baroque style, known for its dramatic composition and the use of light and shadow.
