About the piece
Painted in 1671 by Gerard de Lairesse, this work captures the celestial majesty of Apollo and Aurora. As the sun god Apollo expertly guides his steeds through the sky, Aurora heralds the dawn, floating gracefully amidst the clouds with a basket of blooms. The painting's dynamic movement and refined execution make it a quintessential example of late Dutch Golden Age classicism.
