Aurora c. 1690 - 1710

"Aurora" is a painting by Johannes (I) Voorhout, created between 1690 and 1710. The painting depicts the Roman goddess Aurora, personifying the dawn, seated on clouds with a radiant sun behind her. Surrounded by cherubs, this oil-on-canvas artwork is characteristic of the Baroque period and showcases Voorhout's masterful use of light and color. Though only 35 cm in height and 24.3 cm in width, the painting conveys a sense of grandeur and celestial beauty, capturing the essence of the divine feminine.
