About the piece
Painted around 1607 on copper, this exquisite work by Adam Elsheimer depicts the mythological story of Coronis and Apollo. Known for his pioneering use of light and small-scale detail, Elsheimer creates a powerful contrast between the brightly lit figures and the dense, mysterious forest. This piece is a hallmark of the early Baroque period, blending narrative drama with a sophisticated, atmospheric treatment of nature.
