"Daphne and Peneus 2" is a notable work by the French classical painter Nicolas Poussin, created in the 17th century. Poussin, renowned for his mastery in depicting narratives from classical antiquity with clarity and order, often drew upon themes from mythology and history. This painting is a representation of the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Daphne, a naiad nymph, is transformed into a laurel tree to escape the amorous pursuit of the god Apollo.

In "Daphne and Peneus 2," Poussin captures the dramatic climax of the story, as Daphne calls upon her father, the river god Peneus, to save her from Apollo's relentless chase. The transformation is depicted at the moment of its miraculous occurrence, with Daphne's limbs beginning to turn into branches and leaves, symbolizing her metamorphosis. Poussin's use of color, light, and composition emphasizes the emotional intensity and the divine intervention central to the narrative.

The painting is a testament to Poussin's skill in rendering the human form and his ability to convey complex emotions through gesture and expression. His work is characterized by a rigorous approach to composition, drawing inspiration from ancient art and Renaissance masters. "Daphne and Peneus 2" exemplifies Poussin's dedication to the principles of classical art, where harmony, proportion, and disciplined use of line are paramount.

As with many of Poussin's paintings, "Daphne and Peneus 2" is not only a visual retelling of a myth but also an exploration of themes such as the power of the gods, the nature of transformation, and the human experience of love and loss. The work is an important part of Poussin's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of classical themes in Baroque art. It is held in high regard by art historians and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance.
