"Apollo e Giacinto" is a notable painting by Andrea Appiani the Elder (1754–1817), an esteemed Italian neoclassical painter. This artwork is a representation of the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, which narrates the tragic story of the young prince Hyacinthus and his relationship with the god Apollo. The painting is a testament to Appiani's mastery in capturing the neoclassical aesthetic, characterized by its clarity of form, serene composition, and the idealization of the human figure.

The painting depicts the moment of intimate companionship between Apollo and Hyacinthus, before the tragic accident where the young prince is struck by a discus, leading to his death and transformation into the hyacinth flower. Appiani's rendition of the myth is imbued with emotional depth and a delicate treatment of the figures, reflecting the neoclassical movement's fascination with the art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome.

As a leading artist in Milan during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Appiani was renowned for his frescoes and portraits. His work on "Apollo e Giacinto" showcases his skill in using light and shadow to create a harmonious and balanced composition, while also conveying the narrative and emotional resonance of the mythological subject.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context, as it exemplifies the neoclassical ideals that were prevalent in Europe during Appiani's time. "Apollo e Giacinto" remains an important work in the study of neoclassical painting and continues to be appreciated for its beauty and its portrayal of mythological themes.
