EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a moment of intense emotion and movement. In this engraving titled "Apollo chasing Daphne throws arms up background" we witness a pivotal scene from the ancient mythological story of Apollo and Daphne. The image depicts Apollo, the Greek god of music, art, and light, in his vain pursuit of Daphne, a nymph who had been transformed into a laurel tree to escape his advances. As Apollo chases after her with desperation in his eyes, he throws his arms up in frustration against the backdrop of an ethereal landscape. Engraved by the masterful Italian artist known as Master of the Die during Rome's active artistic period, this print was designed by Baldassare Tommaso Peruzzi. The delicate lines and intricate details bring life to Ovid's Metamorphoses 1:30 verses that describe this particular moment when Apollo's longing for Daphne is further kindled. As Apollo lifts his garments to reveal his lovely limbs while pursuing her through nature's elements, we are reminded of both the tragic love story between these mythical figures and their immortalization through art. This approximately 7 1/8 x 9 5/8-inch sheet captures not only their physical beauty but also conveys their emotional turmoil. With its rich history and profound symbolism, this enchanting print serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology and our enduring quest for love.
