Apollo en Diana doden de kinderen van Niobe 1580 - 1617

Ludovicus Finsonius's "Apollo en Diana doden de kinderen van Niobe" is a 17th-century drawing that depicts the Greek myth of Niobe, a queen who boasts about her many children, angering the gods Apollo and Artemis, who then slaughter her offspring. This drawing uses red chalk to create a dramatic composition, with the figures of Apollo and Diana high in the sky and the fallen children below. The intense emotions are captured in the figures' poses, and the dynamic lines create a sense of movement and energy.
