Apollo with the Solar Disc 1504

Albrecht Dürer's "Apollo with the Solar Disc" (1504) is a striking engraving that depicts the Greek god Apollo as a powerful and majestic figure. The engraving showcases Dürer's mastery of line and detail, creating a sense of depth and realism. Apollo stands confidently, holding a staff in one hand and the sun disc in the other, radiating light and authority. The inscription "Apollo" on the sun disc clearly identifies the subject of the artwork. Dürer's keen interest in classical mythology and his meticulous attention to anatomy are evident in this piece.
