"Apollo and Daphne" is a 1664 oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. This work is one of the numerous interpretations of the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, which narrates the pursuit of the nymph Daphne by the god Apollo and her subsequent transformation into a laurel tree to escape his advances. Poussin, known for his intellectual approach to painting and his mastery in depicting narratives, presents this dramatic moment with a blend of dynamic movement and emotional intensity.

The painting showcases Poussin's classical style, characterized by clarity of form, orderly composition, and harmonious color palette. In "Apollo and Daphne," Poussin captures the climax of the story, as Apollo reaches out for Daphne, who calls upon her father, the river god Peneus, for help. The viewer witnesses the beginning of her metamorphosis, as her limbs turn into branches and her skin into bark. The composition is balanced, with Apollo's forward motion being countered by Daphne's transformation and the landscape's horizontal lines.

Poussin's work is a reflection of the 17th-century French art scene, which was heavily influenced by the classical ideals of beauty and order. His paintings often explored themes from antiquity and mythology, and "Apollo and Daphne" is a prime example of his engagement with these subjects. The painting not only illustrates Poussin's technical skill but also his ability to convey complex human emotions and the drama of mythological events.

"Apollo and Daphne" by Nicolas Poussin is held in a private collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and faithful representation of classical mythology. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Poussin, contributing to our understanding of the Baroque period and the enduring appeal of mythological subjects in art.
