Apollo drinkt water uit een bron c. 1550 - 1650

This anonymous etching, created between 1550 and 1650, depicts Apollo drinking from a spring in a lush landscape. The scene is characterized by rolling hills, winding streams, and a village nestled in the distance. The artist skillfully captures the tranquility of nature, contrasting the rugged terrain with the delicate foliage and flowing water. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popularity of landscape motifs in 16th and 17th century Dutch art. The small size of the etching suggests it may have been intended for personal enjoyment or as part of a larger collection.
