"The Metamorphosis of Daphne into a Laurel Tree by Apollo" is a painting by the British artist Charles Sims, created in the early 20th century. Sims, known for his unique style that blended classical themes with a modern sensibility, often drew inspiration from mythology and literature. This particular work depicts the moment from Greek mythology when Daphne, a naiad and the daughter of the river god Peneus, is transformed into a laurel tree to escape the amorous pursuit of the god Apollo.

The painting captures the dramatic climax of the myth, as Daphne's limbs begin to turn into branches and her skin into bark, while a dismayed Apollo reaches out to her. Sims's portrayal is noted for its dynamic composition and emotional intensity, reflecting the themes of transformation, desire, and escape that are central to the myth. The use of color and light in the painting emphasizes the supernatural event, with the contrast between the human figures and the emerging tree form underscoring the tension between the natural and the divine.

Charles Sims was a prominent figure in the British art scene, having been a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and serving as a war artist during World War I. His work often explored the boundaries between reality and fantasy, and "The Metamorphosis of Daphne into a Laurel Tree by Apollo" is a prime example of his ability to fuse classical subject matter with contemporary artistic expression. The painting is an important piece within Sims's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of early 20th-century British art, particularly in the context of the revival of interest in mythological themes during that period.
