EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Antonio Pollaiuolo, a prominent artist from the Renaissance era. Titled "Apollo and Daphne" this masterpiece was created between 1470 and 1480 and can be found in the esteemed collection of the National Gallery in London. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, where Apollo, the god of music and poetry, is passionately pursuing Daphne, a nymph who has caught his eye. The composition beautifully captures their contrasting emotions - Apollo's intense desire and Daphne's desperate attempt to escape his advances. Pollaiuolo's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke on this oil-on-wood artwork. The Florentine school influence is apparent through its fine art imagery that exudes elegance and grace. The mythological theme adds depth to this allegorical piece, which draws inspiration from literature as well. The story behind "Apollo and Daphne" revolves around Peneus, a river god who transforms his daughter into a laurel tree to protect her from Apollo's relentless pursuit. This transformation is symbolized by Daphne's limbs turning into branches while she desperately reaches out for help. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Pollaiuolo’s artistic prowess but also the enduring allure of Greek mythology within Italian Renaissance art. It serves as a testament to humanity’s fascination with love stories intertwined with gods and nymphs throughout history.
