EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless tale of Apollo and Daphne, beautifully captured in oil on canvas by Italian artist Placido Costanzi. Measuring 33x49 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the National Museum of Stockholm, Sweden. Formerly attributed to Annibale Carracci, this painting depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology. As the story goes, Daphne was a nymph and daughter of a river god who found herself being relentlessly pursued by Apollo. In her desperation to escape his advances, she pleaded with her father for help. Peneus answered her plea by transforming her into a laurel tree. The artist skillfully portrays this metamorphosis through intricate brushstrokes and vivid colors. The naked figures of Apollo and Daphne are central to the composition, symbolizing their vulnerability and raw emotions. Apollo's powers as a god allowed him to preserve Daphne's beauty forever by turning her leaves into evergreen laurels. This painting not only captures an iconic mythological scene but also embodies elements of Baroque art with its attention to detail and dramatic lighting effects. It serves as a testament to Costanzi's talent as well as his deep understanding of classical themes. Immerse yourself in this enchanting artwork that combines love, nature, music, poetry, and divine intervention all within one frame—a true masterpiece that transcends time itself.
