Apollo doodt Coronis c. 1550 - 1650

"Apollo doodt Coronis" is an anonymous 17th-century etching depicting a scene from Greek mythology. The print shows Apollo standing in a forest, with Coronis lying dead at his feet. The scene is set in a landscape with a distant town and a church in the background. This work is characteristic of the Dutch Baroque style, with a focus on realism and detail. The etching, now located in the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of the genre of mythological scenes popular in 17th-century art.
