"Apollo in Vesti Dipastore" is a notable painting by the French Baroque artist Valentin de Boulogne (1591–1632), who was active in Italy and an important follower of Caravaggio. This work is an exemplar of de Boulogne's adeptness in merging the naturalistic Caravaggesque style with classical themes, a hallmark of his mature period. The painting depicts Apollo, the ancient Greek god of music, poetry, and the arts, dressed as a shepherd (pastore), a reference to his mythical disguise during his servitude to King Admetus, as told in various sources including Ovid's Metamorphoses.

In this artwork, Valentin de Boulogne demonstrates his skill in chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and shadow to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures—a technique that was pioneered by Caravaggio and became a defining characteristic of Baroque painting. The figure of Apollo is rendered with a dramatic use of light that highlights his youthful features and the texture of his clothing, while the surrounding landscape and background figures are shrouded in shadow, creating a theatrical and intimate atmosphere.

The painting is a testament to de Boulogne's ability to infuse his subjects with a sense of psychological depth and realism, while still adhering to the iconographic traditions of the time. "Apollo in Vesti Dipastore" not only reflects the artist's technical prowess but also his intellectual engagement with the cultural and mythological heritage of antiquity, which was a significant aspect of the artistic discourse during the early 17th century.

Valentin de Boulogne's "Apollo in Vesti Dipastore" is housed in a notable art collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and contribution to the Baroque era. The painting is a valuable piece for understanding the transition between the Renaissance and Baroque periods and the evolution of European art during a time of great cultural and artistic dynamism.
