"Kustgezicht met ruïne en Apollo met de Sibille van Cumae" is an engraving by Richard Earlom, dating back to possibly 1775. The artwork depicts a coastal scene with a ruined building in the foreground and a distant cityscape, likely an Italian harbor. The scene is framed by trees and a hazy sky, emphasizing the romanticism of the composition. The figures in the foreground, potentially Apollo and the Sibyl of Cumae, add a mythical element to the artwork. This print is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and provides a glimpse into Earlom's mastery of engraving and the romantic landscape genre.
