EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking sculpture of "Apollo and Daphne" created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1622-25. Standing tall at a height of 243 cm, this marble masterpiece can be found in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy. The image captures a pivotal moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Apollo, the god of music and poetry, becomes infatuated with Daphne, a beautiful nymph. However, as Apollo reaches out to embrace her, she flees his advances. In a dramatic metamorphosis captured by Bernini's skilled hands, we witness branches sprouting from Daphne's arms as she transforms into a laurel tree. The intensity of emotion is palpable through this photograph; it encapsulates both Apollo's desperate pursuit and Daphne's fear-driven flight. The intricate details highlight every contour of their bodies - Apollo depicted nude while Daphne clings to her last moments of humanity before becoming one with nature. Bernini masterfully conveys movement and tension within the stone itself; even the roots that emerge from beneath Daphne seem alive with energy. This Baroque sculpture exemplifies Bernini's ability to capture raw human emotions frozen in time. As you gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, allow yourself to be transported back to ancient mythology and immerse yourself in the beauty and power emanating from "Apollo and Daphne
