Thus Guercino's plinth becomes a proper stone tomb, while the skull is relegated to the background. References to the Arcadian setting are reinforced by the figure of the shepherdess on the left and the allegorical portrayal of the river god on the right. ## Related artworks - [A Bacchic Scene]() - [A Dance to the Music of Time]() - [A Roman Road]() - [A Sacrifice]() - [Acis and Galatea]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Annunciation]() - [Apollo and Daphne]() - [Apollo and Daphne]() - [Apollo and the Muses \(Parnassus\)]() - [Armida Carrying off Rinaldo]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
