EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of "Apollo and Daphne" by the renowned Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Created between 1622 and 1625, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Galleria Borghese in Rome. Published in 1879, this wood engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail of the original marble sculpture. The artwork depicts a dramatic moment from Greek mythology, where Apollo, the god of music and poetry, pursues Daphne, a nymph who has been transformed into a laurel tree to escape his advances. Bernini's exceptional talent shines through as he skillfully portrays their contrasting emotions - Apollo's desperate longing and Daphne's fear and determination. Through his masterful use of texture and movement, Bernini breathes life into stone, creating an almost tangible sense of motion within the static medium. The delicate folds of fabric seem to flutter with each step while Apollo's outstretched hand reaches desperately towards Daphne's transforming body. This print allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece of history and marvel at Bernini's genius craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless works continue to inspire awe and admiration for their ability to capture human emotion so vividly. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a curated collection, this print will undoubtedly be cherished by those who appreciate both classical beauty and artistic excellence.
