About the Item
Oil on Canvas. Tuscan school of the 18th century.
The grand scene tells the tragic story of Apollo and Daphne, recounted in Ovid's Metamorphoses. According to the myth, the god Apollo, having taunted Cupid, is shot by him with a love arrow that causes him to fall in love with the nymph Daphne, who is shot instead with a lead arrow, capable of ending love. Apollo struck by the arrow falls hopelessly in love with Daphne and runs toward her, but the nymph rejects the god and runs away.
To avoid being taken Daphne asks her father Peneus, eponymous deity of the river Peneus, to be transformed so as not to have to submit to Apollo. Peneus listens to her request, and when Apollo is about to grab her, Daphne turns into a laurel tree, a plant that from that moment on becomes sacred to the god.
The work shows in some parts proximity to the pictorial modes of Giuseppe Zocchi (1711 -1767), to whom the author probably looked in particular in the depiction of trees and vegetation.
The canvas has several color falls, especially lower left, and a series of holes (of different sizes along the edges and in the center) caused by previous nails put in for reinforcement.
