This etching by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi depicts the Greek myth of Apollo and Hyacinthus. In the scene, Apollo mourns over Hyacinthus, who was accidentally killed by the god. The work is characterized by Piranesi’s masterful use of perspective and shading, creating a sense of depth and drama. The detailed depiction of the landscape, with its trees, river, and distant mountains, adds to the overall sense of realism and melancholy. This image is a testament to Piranesi's talent for capturing both historical and mythological narratives through his distinct visual style.
