"Clytie Transformed into a Sunflower" is a 1688 painting by the French artist Charles de La Fosse, who was a prominent figure in the Baroque period and known for his skillful use of color and adeptness in the portrayal of light. The painting depicts the mythological story of Clytie, a water nymph in Greek mythology who was enamored with the sun god Apollo. According to the myth, after being spurned by Apollo, Clytie spent her days watching him move across the sky until eventually, she was transformed into a sunflower, which is known for its heliotropic ability to turn towards the sun.

In de La Fosse's interpretation, the moment of transformation is captured with dramatic effect, utilizing the contrast of light and shadow to emphasize the emotional intensity of the scene. The artist's use of color and composition reflects the Baroque style's characteristic dynamism and grandeur. The painting serves as an example of de La Fosse's mastery in blending classical subjects with the artistic innovations of his time, contributing to the evolution of French art in the late 17th century.

"Clytie Transformed into a Sunflower" is considered an important work in Charles de La Fosse's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to convey complex narratives through his paintings. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of mythological subjects in the arts and their capacity to inspire artists across generations. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value, reflecting the tastes and interests of the period in which it was created.
