About the piece
Painted circa 1665 by Jan Boeckhorst, this masterpiece illustrates the Greek deity Phoebus Apollo as he drives his chariot through the clouds. The composition is alive with Baroque energy, featuring a group of dancing figures—likely the Hours—accompanying the golden chariot and spirited white horses. Boeckhorst's use of radiant light and soft, flowing drapery creates a sense of divine movement and classical elegance.
