Apollo is a 1728 ink by Anne-Claude-Philippe de Tubières, comte de Caylus, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows Apollo, the Greek sun god, holding a lyre. His long hair curls around a laurel wreath. The lines are crisp and clean, like a sketch you’d see in a book. Caylus made this print in the 1700s. He wasn’t just an artist—he collected old coins and medals, too. Etchings like this let people share images before photography existed.
