About the piece
Created around 1700 by Pietro della Vecchia, this oil painting showcases the Venetian master's skill with chiaroscuro and atmospheric depth. The god Apollo is portrayed not with his traditional lyre but with a violin, his figure illuminated against a brooding sky while tiny figures dance in the distant landscape.
