"Pauline as Daphne Fleeing from Apollo" is a neoclassical painting created around 1810 by the French artist Robert-Jacques-François-Faust Lefèvre. The painting is a notable example of the neoclassical style that dominated European art in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, characterized by its emphasis on classical antiquity, idealized forms, and a sense of harmony and restraint.

The subject of the painting is drawn from ancient Greek mythology, depicting the moment when the nymph Daphne is transformed into a laurel tree to escape the amorous pursuit of the god Apollo. This mythological theme was a popular subject for artists during the neoclassical period, as it allowed them to explore themes of beauty, desire, and transformation while showcasing their ability to render the human figure and drapery with precision and elegance.

In Lefèvre's interpretation, the figure of Pauline—likely a reference to a contemporary model or muse—is portrayed at the center of the composition, her body twisting as she looks back at the pursuing Apollo. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as the dynamic composition, conveys a sense of movement and urgency, capturing the dramatic tension of the mythological narrative.

Robert-Jacques-François-Faust Lefèvre (1755–1830) was a prominent French painter known for his portraits and historical scenes. His work reflects the transition from the Rococo style of the earlier 18th century to the more austere and morally serious neoclassicism that emerged following the French Revolution. "Pauline as Daphne Fleeing from Apollo" is a testament to Lefèvre's skill in blending classical subject matter with the refined aesthetic of his time.

The painting is an important piece within Lefèvre's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of neoclassical art and its cultural context. It continues to be studied by art historians and is appreciated by audiences for its beauty and its evocative portrayal of a timeless mythological story.
