"Salmace e Ermafrodito" (also known as "Salmacis and Hermaphroditus") is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Francesco Albani, created in the early 17th century. This artwork is a visual interpretation of the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, which narrates the story of the nymph Salmacis's unrequited love for the beautiful youth Hermaphroditus and their subsequent transformation into a single androgynous being.

Albani, known for his poetic rendering of mythological and religious themes, employs his characteristic grace and clarity of form in this painting. The work is emblematic of the Baroque period's fascination with dynamic compositions, dramatic narratives, and the exploration of human emotion through classical mythology. Albani's depiction of the figures reflects a delicate balance between idealized beauty and the sensuous interaction of the characters, set against a landscape that enhances the narrative's ethereal quality.

The painting is notable for its exquisite use of color and light, which Albani mastered under the influence of his teacher, the Bolognese painter Guido Reni, and which reflects the overall stylistic tendencies of the Bolognese School. "Salmace e Ermafrodito" not only exemplifies Albani's artistic prowess but also contributes to the understanding of Baroque aesthetics and the period's approach to mythological subject matter.

As an important work in Francesco Albani's oeuvre, "Salmace e Ermafrodito" continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its portrayal of the transformative power of love, a theme that resonates with both contemporary and modern audiences. The painting is a testament to Albani's ability to convey complex emotional states and narratives through his refined and harmonious compositions.
