EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Apollo Chasing Daphne" by Paulus van Wtewael, we are transported to the mythical world of Greek gods and goddesses. The scene depicts the intense pursuit of Apollo as he chases after the beautiful nymph Daphne. With his arms raised in the air and flying through the sky, Apollo is determined to catch Daphne who flees from him. The oval frame beautifully captures their dynamic movement, adding a sense of urgency and drama to the composition. The inscription in Latin reminds us of this famous tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Apollo's unrequited love for Daphne leads her to transform into a laurel tree. This metamorphosis symbolizes her desire for freedom and escape from Apollo's relentless pursuit. Quint Lox skillfully brings this ancient story to life through his masterful interpretation of Wtewael's work. The attention to detail and vibrant colors make it impossible not to be drawn into this mythological narrative. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel captivated by the tension between these two figures - one chasing with determination, while the other desperately seeks refuge in nature itself. It serves as a timeless reminder that even gods are subject to unrequited love and its consequences.
