Apollo, God of Light, Eloquence, Poetry, and the Fine Arts with Urania, Muse of Astronomy

Charles Meynier

Cleveland Museum of Art

A painting of Apollo, a blond and nearly nude man wearing only a red cloth wrapped around him. He holds a laurel wreath in his right hand, and there are sunflowers behind him on the left. A quiver full of arrows hangs on his back. He stands on grass beside a body of water with two white swans. A gold lyre stands behind him. A woman with a blue cloth wrapped around her to the right rests her left hand on a globe beside her. The background is cloudy and gray-blue.
