Apollo fra Veji 1911

"Apollo fra Veji" (1911) is a watercolor painting by Danish artist Marie Henriques (1866-1944). The artwork depicts a bronze statue of the Greek god Apollo, standing on a pedestal against a muted, blue-grey background. Henriques's skillful use of watercolor creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the texture of the bronze and the subtle play of light and shadow on the sculpture. Currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this painting exemplifies Henriques's talent for capturing the essence of classical sculpture through her masterful use of watercolor.
