Apollo and Marsyas is a painting by the Italian artist Paolo Farinati, a prominent figure of the late Renaissance period. Farinati, known for his work in Verona, was active during the 16th century and contributed significantly to the Mannerist style, which is characterized by its artificial elegance and complex compositions.

The painting depicts the mythological story of Apollo and Marsyas, a popular theme in Renaissance art. According to the myth, Marsyas, a satyr, challenged Apollo, the god of music, to a musical contest. Marsyas played the aulos, a double-reeded instrument, while Apollo played the lyre. The contest was judged by the Muses, and Apollo emerged victorious. As punishment for his hubris, Marsyas was flayed alive by Apollo, a scene often depicted in art to convey themes of divine justice and the consequences of pride.

Farinati's interpretation of this myth is notable for its dramatic composition and expressive figures. The painting captures the tension and drama of the moment, with Apollo portrayed as a serene and authoritative figure, while Marsyas is depicted in a state of anguish. The use of color and light in the painting highlights the emotional intensity of the scene, a hallmark of Farinati's style.

Farinati's work is often praised for its dynamic compositions and the skillful use of perspective, which are evident in Apollo and Marsyas. The painting reflects the artist's mastery of anatomy and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. Although not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Farinati's contributions to the Mannerist movement are significant, and his works continue to be studied for their artistic and historical value.

Apollo and Marsyas remains an important example of Farinati's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to blend mythological themes with the stylistic elements of the Renaissance, creating a work that is both visually compelling and rich in narrative depth.
