"Apollon et Daphne" is a notable painting by the French artist Bon de Boulogne (1649–1717), a prominent figure in the French Baroque movement. The work depicts the mythological story of Apollo and Daphne, a narrative derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," which has been a recurrent theme in Western art. In the myth, Apollo, the god of light and music, is struck by Cupid's arrow, causing him to fall in love with the nymph Daphne. Daphne, in turn, is struck by a leaden arrow that repels love, and she flees from Apollo's advances. As Apollo pursues her, she prays to her father, the river god Peneus, for help, and is transformed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo's embrace.

Bon de Boulogne's interpretation of this classical tale is characterized by its dynamic composition and the emotional intensity of the figures. The painting captures the moment of Daphne's transformation, showcasing Bon's skill in rendering the human form as well as his ability to convey dramatic tension and movement. The work is exemplary of the Baroque style, with its vivid contrasts of light and shadow, and its emphasis on narrative and the theatricality of the scene.

As a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, Bon de Boulogne was influential in his time, and his works were highly regarded for their classical references and technical mastery. "Apollon et Daphne" is considered one of his masterpieces, reflecting both his artistic prowess and the cultural milieu of 17th-century France, where mythological subjects were often used to explore human emotions and experiences.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context, as it exemplifies the themes and styles prevalent in French Baroque art. It remains an important work for scholars studying the period and for those interested in the ways classical mythology has been interpreted and reimagined through the lens of art history.
