"Apoll Schindet Marsyas" is an engraving by Martino Rota, an artist of Croatian origin who was active during the Renaissance period. This work of art depicts the mythological scene where Apollo flays Marsyas alive as punishment for daring to challenge the god to a musical contest. Martino Rota, also known as Martin Rota or Martin Rota Kolunić, was born around 1540 and worked in various European artistic centers, including Venice, where he was influenced by the works of prominent artists such as Titian.

The engraving is a reflection of the Mannerist style, characterized by complex composition, elongated figures, and a dramatic use of space. Rota's "Apoll Schindet Marsyas" captures the moment of brutal retribution with Apollo at the center of the scene, asserting his divine authority over the satyr Marsyas, who is depicted bound to a tree. The artwork is notable for its intricate detailing and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and the dynamic movement within the scene.

Martino Rota's work as an engraver was highly regarded during his lifetime, and he was known for his skill in translating paintings into prints, which allowed for the wider dissemination of artistic images. "Apoll Schindet Marsyas" is an example of his mastery in the medium of engraving and his ability to convey complex mythological narratives through his art. The piece not only serves as an illustration of a classical myth but also as a testament to the artistic and cultural exchanges that took place during the Renaissance period.

This engraving is part of the broader tradition of artists depicting scenes from classical mythology, which was a prevalent theme in Renaissance art. It reflects the humanist interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture and the use of mythological subjects to explore themes such as the nature of divine justice, the consequences of hubris, and the relationship between mortals and the divine. As such, "Apoll Schindet Marsyas" holds significance not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context.
