"Daphne and Apollo" is a Baroque-era painting by the Italian artist Elisabetta Sirani, created in 1659. The artwork is a visual representation of the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Apollo, the god of the sun, is enamored with Daphne, a nymph who desires to remain unmarried and devoted to the goddess Diana. In an attempt to escape Apollo's advances, Daphne prays to her father, the river god Peneus, who transforms her into a laurel tree. Sirani's interpretation of this narrative captures the dramatic moment of transformation, showcasing her skill in conveying movement and emotion.

Elisabetta Sirani, a prominent female artist in the 17th century, was known for her dynamic compositions and her ability to imbue her subjects with a sense of life and urgency. "Daphne and Apollo" exemplifies Sirani's mastery of chiaroscuro and her sensitive approach to storytelling through art. The painting is a testament to her talent and her contribution to the Baroque movement, during a time when female artists were often overshadowed by their male counterparts.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context. It reflects the themes of desire, transformation, and the role of women in mythology and society—themes that were prevalent in Baroque art. "Daphne and Apollo" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Elisabetta Sirani and continues to be studied for its stylistic qualities and its place in the history of female artists in the Baroque period.
