"Daphne" is a notable painting created by the renowned English Victorian painter and sculptor, George Frederic Watts. This work forms a key part of Watts' extensive portfolio, being created during his mature phase in the second half of the 19th century. The painting is an interpretation of the Greek legend of Daphne, a nymph who was transformed into a laure tree to escape the amorous pursuits of Apollo. Watts communicates this narrative by depicting Daphne in the process of transformation, symbolized through the depiction of tree roots entangling her feet, embodying the fate the nymph is destined to endure.

The painting exemplifies Watts' facility with emotive symbols and contemplative undertones, reflecting his status as a symbolist artist. Watts' use of deep, atmospheric colours amplifies the powerful and somber mood of the painting. Daphne's expression and body posture further accentuate the depiction of inevitable change and confinement.

"Daphne" represents a significant contribution within Watts' body of work, highlighting his affinity for mythological and allegorical subjects. Today, it remains a testament to Watts' skill in translating complex narratives and emotions alongside his unique approach to mythological reinterpretation, encapsulating his status as one of the leaders of the Symbolist movement in England.
