"Apollo and Daphne" (1908) is a notable painting by the British artist John William Waterhouse, renowned for his contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic movements. This work is a vivid representation of the mythological tale from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," capturing the dramatic moment of transformation and pursuit. Waterhouse, known for his fascination with classical mythology and literature, brings to life the poignant narrative of Apollo, the god of the sun, and Daphne, a nymph who is transformed into a laurel tree to escape his amorous advances.

The painting is characterized by Waterhouse's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion through his subjects. In "Apollo and Daphne," he masterfully depicts the tension and urgency of the chase, with Apollo's outstretched hand reaching for Daphne as she begins to metamorphose. The composition is dynamic, with a strong diagonal line created by the figures' movement, drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas. Waterhouse's use of color and light enhances the ethereal quality of the scene, with Daphne's form blending into the natural surroundings as she transforms.

Waterhouse's interpretation of the myth is both faithful to the source material and imbued with his unique artistic sensibility. The painting reflects his skill in combining narrative depth with visual beauty, making it a significant work within his oeuvre. "Apollo and Daphne" exemplifies Waterhouse's ability to evoke the timeless themes of love, desire, and transformation, resonating with viewers through its emotional intensity and technical excellence. This piece remains a testament to Waterhouse's enduring legacy in the realm of mythological and literary art.
