Claude Lorrain etched this allegorical scene in 1662, late in a printmaking career that had largely given way to painting commissions by then; only a handful of his more than forty known etchings date from after 1650. Set among ruined antique buildings, the print personifies Time as a winged old man playing a harp while Apollo dances with four women representing the Seasons. The stylized, almost theatrical arrangement of the figures contrasts with the more naturalistic rendering of the trees and architecture receding into the distance, a hallmark of Lorrain's mature landscape compositions. Impressions are held by museums including the Art Institute of Chicago and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

Four stars because it is excellent and I paid a little more than I wanted to. My friends recognized Time, Apollo right away, which surprised me. It works well in a split-level that has been hard to decorate. I am glad I finally ordered it. ✨
This is my fourth order from this shop and the standard has not slipped once. Every line in Time, Apollo is crisp, even in the busiest areas. It has not faded at all in a room that gets brutal afternoon light. Buy it, you will not regret it.
This went well past what I expected. The shading in Time, Apollo has a depth I never noticed in books. It has come through a summer of open windows and humidity without a problem. Every person who has been in the house has asked where it came from.
Good value for something this size. The scan behind Time, Apollo is clean, with no obvious artifacts. It has already paid for itself in compliments.
The subject alone sold me and the execution sealed it. Every line in Time, Apollo is crisp, even in the busiest areas.
