"Apollo and Marsyas" is a renowned painting by the Baroque artist Johann Karl Loth, also known as Carlotto or Carlo Lotti. This work of art depicts the mythological confrontation between Apollo, the Greek god of music, and Marsyas, a satyr who dared to challenge the deity to a musical contest. The painting is a vivid representation of the dramatic moment in the myth where Apollo emerges victorious and proceeds to punish Marsyas for his hubris.

Johann Karl Loth, born in 1632 in Munich and active during the 17th century, was a prolific painter who spent a significant part of his career in Venice. He was known for his dynamic compositions, strong use of color, and ability to convey intense emotions and narratives, characteristics that are evident in "Apollo and Marsyas." Loth's work was influenced by the Venetian masters as well as by the dramatic chiaroscuro of the Roman Baroque.

The painting captures the tension of the scene through the expressive gestures and the contrast between the calm, composed Apollo and the anguished Marsyas. The use of light and shadow serves to highlight the figures and underscore the emotional intensity of the scene. "Apollo and Marsyas" is often noted for its masterful execution and its reflection of the cultural and artistic themes of the Baroque period, such as the exploration of human emotion, the use of allegory, and the emphasis on the dramatic potential of mythological subjects.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is typically dated to the latter half of the 17th century, a period when Loth was at the height of his artistic powers. The artwork remains an important example of Loth's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art and its narrative capabilities. "Apollo and Marsyas" is not only a testament to Loth's skill as a painter but also an enduring representation of the timeless themes of rivalry, punishment, and the consequences of challenging the divine.
