"Apollo Slays Python" is a renowned oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, depicting the mythological event of Apollo killing the monstrous serpent Python. This subject is drawn from classical mythology, where Apollo, the god of prophecy, music, and healing, is said to have slain Python, a creature that guarded the site of Delphi, to establish the oracle that would become the most important in Ancient Greece.

Created in 1850, the painting is a testament to Delacroix's mastery of movement and drama, as well as his use of vivid color, which became a hallmark of his work and a significant influence on subsequent generations of artists. The artwork reflects the Romantic era's fascination with dramatic narratives, emotion, and the sublime, as well as an interest in the exotic and the violent.

The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, with Apollo depicted in the act of delivering the death blow to the Python. The god's figure is rendered with a sense of grace and power, while the serpent coils in a complex, writhing mass at his feet, emphasizing the struggle between the forces of order and chaos. Delacroix's brushwork is vigorous and expressive, contributing to the sense of immediacy and action.

"Apollo Slays Python" is part of Delacroix's exploration of themes from antiquity, which he revisited throughout his career. The work is often analyzed within the context of Delacroix's oeuvre as an example of his engagement with historical and mythological subjects, as well as his contribution to the Romantic movement's reshaping of classical themes to reflect contemporary concerns and sensibilities.

The painting is held in a prominent public collection, allowing for its continued study and appreciation. It stands as a significant example of Delacroix's artistic legacy and the enduring appeal of mythological subjects in Western art.
