Apollo seated holding a lyre in front of an Athenian woman and a serpent - Charles-André van Loo
View from behind
Frame (optional)
Apollon in a noble posture: the dramatic scene sublimated by Charles-André van Loo
In this composition, Apollon appears seated, the lyre delicately held, facing an Athenian woman and a serpent, where harmonious lines and a subtle palette establish an atmosphere both solemn and intimate. The treatment of drapery and the clarity of modeling reveal mastery of chiaroscuro that highlights the gazes and gestures, while warm tones interact with cooler accents to create measured spatial depth. This art print of Apollon seated holding a lyre in front of an Athenian woman and a serpent faithfully restores the movement and narrative tension of the scene, inviting the eye to explore every sculptural detail.
Charles-André van Loo, master of 18th-century academic classicism
Charles-André van Loo belongs to the French academic tradition of the 18th century, influenced by classicism and the requirements of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. Coming from a family of artists, he developed a refined style, close to neoclassical canons while maintaining a decorative sensitivity typical of the century's taste. His compositions, often dedicated to mythology and historical scenes, demonstrate drawing rigor and attention to the expression of characters. Van Loo's knowledge of ancient sources and technical virtuosity made him a sought-after painter for official and private commissions, leaving a visible contribution to French painting of his time.
