"Apollo e Dafne" is a 17th-century painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Daniel Vertangen, depicting the mythological story of Apollo and Daphne from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this tale, Apollo, the god of the sun, 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.

Vertangen's rendition of this dramatic transformation captures the climactic moment of metamorphosis, with Apollo reaching out to Daphne as she begins her transformation. The painting is a reflection of the Baroque period's fascination with dynamic movement, emotion, and the use of light and shadow to convey drama. Daniel Vertangen, active in Amsterdam from 1636 to 1681, was known for his historical and mythological scenes, as well as portraits and genre paintings.

"Apollo e Dafne" by Daniel Vertangen is a significant work that exemplifies the artist's skill in interpreting classical mythology through the lens of Baroque aesthetics. The painting not only serves as an artistic representation of a well-known myth but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic interests of the Dutch Golden Age. The artwork's current location, provenance, and critical reception over time would provide further context to its historical and artistic value, but such information is not available in this introduction.
