EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Apollo portrait by Caspar Brandt, featured on the title page of K. Brandt's renowned work "Poezy" from 1705. In this exquisite depiction, Apollo is depicted sitting on a platform, his majestic figure holding a shield adorned with the author's portrait, paying homage to Caspar Brandt himself. Above the portrait, a playful putto gracefully flies with a laurel wreath in hand, symbolizing victory and honor. The background of this remarkable artwork reveals a memorial dedicated to the deceased writer and features the mythical winged horse Pegasus. Floating in mid-air are two more cherubic putti who hold up a canvas displaying the book's title: "Apollo (Phoebus), Portrait of a Writer". The scene also encompasses various grave forms and markers as well as cupids known as amores or amoretti. This delicate etching measures approximately 147 mm in height and 90 mm in width. It was created in Rotterdam back in 1702 using paper as its medium. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur of Apollo and the significance of Caspar Brandt's contribution to literature through this intricate composition.
