About this work
In the clouds, the naked Apollo as the personification of midday. Around his head, the sun. Below him, a midday landscape with people seeking shade from the sun. The people are sleeping or drinking. In the margin, a Latin subtitle with an explanation of midday. The print is part of a four-part series on the parts of the day and the human activities carried out during that part of the day.
