EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture group "Apollo and Daphne" by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, located in the renowned Borghese Gallery in Rome. The artist Jean-Etienne Liotard skillfully captures this iconic masterpiece from 1736 on paper, preserving its beauty for generations to come. The scene depicted is a pivotal moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses: as Apollo relentlessly pursues Daphne, she desperately seeks refuge and pleads with her father Peneus for help. In an act of divine intervention, Peneus transforms his daughter into a laurel-tree to save her from Apollo's advances. This metamorphosis is brilliantly portrayed in Liotard's pastel rendition. The delicate details and exquisite colors bring life to this timeless artwork, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing the emotional intensity of the narrative. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the profound transformation that unfolds before our eyes. It serves as a testament to Bernini's genius as well as Liotard's ability to capture its essence through his own artistic lens. With each glance at this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the power of art to transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with stories that have shaped our collective imagination throughout history.
