"Apollo and Coronis" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse, which depicts the tragic mythological story of the god Apollo and his lover Coronis. This artwork is an example of de Lairesse's classical and Baroque influences, showcasing his ability to convey complex narratives through his paintings. The story, derived from Ovid's Metamorphoses, tells of Apollo's love for the Thessalian princess Coronis and her betrayal. Upon learning of her infidelity with a mortal, Apollo sends his sister Artemis to kill Coronis. Before her death, it is revealed that Coronis is pregnant with Apollo's child, Asclepius, who is subsequently saved and goes on to become the god of medicine.

Gerard de Lairesse was renowned for his allegorical and mythological scenes, and "Apollo and Coronis" is a prime example of his work in this genre. The painting is characterized by its dramatic composition, the use of chiaroscuro to highlight the emotional intensity of the scene, and its detailed rendering of the figures, which are imbued with a sense of movement and drama. De Lairesse's mastery of classical themes and his ability to imbue them with a sense of contemporary relevance made him a popular artist in his time and a significant figure in the Dutch art historical canon.

The painting not only reflects de Lairesse's artistic skill but also serves as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the values and interests of the period in which it was created. The work is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of the themes of love, betrayal, and the divine retribution that were prevalent in the art and literature of the 17th century. "Apollo and Coronis" remains an important piece within de Lairesse's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
