Dichter zit bij monument en ontvangt inspiratie van muze 1746 - 1814

This etching by Carel Frederik (I) Bendorp, titled "Dichter zit bij monument en ontvangt inspiratie van muze" (Poet sits by a monument and receives inspiration from the muse), depicts a poet seated beneath a monument, receiving inspiration from the muse who sits on a cloud above. The scene is set in a pastoral landscape with other figures and a swan in the background. This work, created between 1746 and 1814, is a classic example of Dutch Neoclassical art, with its focus on classical themes and an emphasis on balanced composition and clear lines.
