"Pyramus and Thisbe" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Apollonio di Giovanni, created in the mid-15th century. The artwork depicts the tragic story of Pyramus and Thisbe, a tale of two young lovers from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," which has been a popular subject in art and literature throughout the centuries. Apollonio di Giovanni, also known as Apollonio di Giovanni di Tomaso, was active in Florence and is known for his work on cassoni—decorative chests that were often commissioned to celebrate marriages.

In the painting, Apollonio illustrates the moment of high drama when the two lovers, forbidden to marry by their parents, arrange to meet near a mulberry tree. The narrative unfolds with Thisbe arriving first and fleeing from a lioness, leaving behind her veil, which the lioness mauls. Pyramus, upon discovering the bloodied veil, mistakenly believes Thisbe has been killed and, in his despair, takes his own life. Thisbe returns to find the dying Pyramus and, stricken with grief, kills herself with the same weapon.

Apollonio's rendition of "Pyramus and Thisbe" is notable for its detailed representation of the Renaissance ideals of beauty, costume, and landscape. The painting is characterized by its vivid colors, careful attention to detail, and the emotional expressions of the figures, which reflect the dramatic intensity of the story. The work is a quintessential example of the narrative style prevalent in Florentine art during the Quattrocento, where storytelling and the depiction of human emotions were central to artistic endeavors.

The painting is a testament to the themes of love and tragedy that resonate across time, as well as to the skill of Apollonio di Giovanni as a master storyteller through visual means. It remains an important piece within the corpus of Renaissance art, contributing to our understanding of the period's aesthetic values and the enduring appeal of classical myths.
