Apotheose van een dichter 1825 - 1883

"Apotheose van een dichter" (Apotheosis of a Poet) is a lithograph created by Belgian artist Theodoor Schaepkens between 1825 and 1883. The piece depicts a central figure, likely a poet, surrounded by cherubs and angels, ascending to the heavens. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a dramatic and emotive scene, portraying the exaltation of the poet's work. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Schaepkens' mastery of lithography and his talent for capturing the awe and reverence associated with artistic inspiration.
