"Apollon et Daphne" is a notable painting by the French Baroque artist Michel Corneille II, who was active during the 17th century. Corneille, born in 1642 and deceased in 1708, was a prominent figure in the French art scene, known for his contributions to both painting and engraving. He was the son of Michel Corneille the Elder, also a distinguished painter, and was trained in the classical tradition, which is evident in his works.

The painting "Apollon et Daphne" depicts the mythological story of Apollo and Daphne, a narrative derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." In this tale, Apollo, the god of the sun, falls in love with the nymph Daphne. However, Daphne, desiring to remain chaste and free from Apollo's advances, prays to her father, the river god Peneus, to save her. In response, Peneus transforms Daphne into a laurel tree just as Apollo is about to catch her. This myth has been a popular subject in art due to its dramatic and emotional themes, as well as its exploration of transformation and unrequited love.

Corneille's rendition of this mythological scene is characterized by its dynamic composition and the expressive use of light and shadow, typical of the Baroque style. The painting captures the climactic moment of Daphne's transformation, with Apollo reaching out towards her as her limbs begin to turn into branches and leaves. The emotional intensity of the scene is heightened by Corneille's skillful depiction of the figures' expressions and the fluidity of their movements.

"Apollon et Daphne" exemplifies Corneille's mastery in blending classical themes with the dramatic flair of the Baroque period. His attention to detail and ability to convey complex emotions through his art have cemented his reputation as a significant artist of his time. This painting not only reflects the artistic trends of the 17th century but also continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
