Stefano della Bella, an eminent Italian printmaker and draftsman of the Baroque period, is renowned for his intricate and expressive etchings. Among his notable works is "Apollo and Daphne, After Bernini," an etching that pays homage to the celebrated sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Created in the mid-17th century, della Bella's etching captures the dramatic transformation of Daphne into a laurel tree as she flees from the god Apollo, a moment immortalized in Bernini's marble masterpiece.

Della Bella's etching is a testament to his technical prowess and his ability to convey dynamic movement and emotion through the medium of print. The composition closely follows Bernini's original, depicting the climactic moment of metamorphosis with Daphne's fingers sprouting leaves and her legs taking root. Apollo's desperate reach and Daphne's anguished expression are rendered with meticulous detail, showcasing della Bella's skill in capturing the subtleties of human anatomy and emotion.

The etching not only reflects della Bella's admiration for Bernini's work but also serves as an example of the broader Baroque fascination with themes of transformation and the interplay between human and divine. Della Bella's interpretation of the mythological narrative is imbued with a sense of urgency and pathos, emphasizing the tragic beauty of Daphne's fate.

"Apollo and Daphne, After Bernini" is a significant work within della Bella's oeuvre, illustrating his ability to reinterpret and immortalize the works of his contemporaries through the art of printmaking. The etching remains an important piece for the study of Baroque art, providing insight into the period's artistic dialogues and the enduring influence of classical mythology on European art.
