"Apollon et Daphné" is a notable artwork by Michel Corneille the Younger (1642–1708), a French painter who was part of the second generation of the Parisian classical school and known for his mythological and historical subjects. This particular painting depicts the mythological story of Apollo and Daphne, a narrative derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." In the tale, Apollo, the god of the sun, is struck by Cupid's arrow, causing him to fall in love with the nymph Daphne. Daphne, in turn, is struck by a leaden arrow that incites aversion to Apollo's advances. As Apollo pursues her, Daphne prays to her father, the river god Peneus, for help, and is transformed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo's embrace.

Corneille's interpretation of "Apollon et Daphné" captures the dramatic climax of the story, illustrating the tension and emotion of the chase and the transformation. His work is characterized by the dynamic movement and expressive figures that reflect the Baroque influence of the period, while also demonstrating classical restraint and order. The painting is a testament to Corneille's skill in handling mythological themes and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it reflects the themes of love, transformation, and the divine intervention that were prevalent in the art and literature of the 17th century. "Apollon et Daphné" by Michel Corneille II remains an important work for scholars studying French Baroque art and the interpretation of classical mythology during this period.
