"Apollo e Marsia" is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Bartolomeo Manfredi (1582–1622). Manfredi, a prominent follower of Caravaggio, was known for his realistic depiction of human figures and his dramatic use of chiaroscuro – the strong contrasts between light and dark. This painting illustrates the mythological story of Apollo and Marsyas as recounted in Ovid's "Metamorphoses." In the myth, Marsyas, a satyr, challenges the god Apollo to a musical contest and is subsequently punished for his hubris.

The artwork captures the moment of intense drama as Apollo, the god of music, art, and knowledge, confronts Marsyas after the latter's presumptuous challenge. Manfredi's interpretation of the scene is noted for its emotional intensity and the stark lighting that highlights the figures' expressions and the tension of the encounter. The painting is a prime example of the tenebrism that was characteristic of the Baroque period, where the stark contrast between light and shadow serves to heighten the emotional impact of the scene.

"Apollo e Marsia" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its influence on contemporary and later artists who were inspired by Manfredi's powerful and direct approach to narrative and his skillful handling of light. The painting is often discussed in the context of Manfredi's contributions to the Baroque movement and his role in disseminating Caravaggesque style throughout Italy and beyond.
