EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Metamorphosis of Daphne" a stunning tempera on panel painting by the Master of the Judgement of Paris. Measuring 47.5x53.1 cm, this artwork is housed in The Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham, thanks to The Henry Barber Trust. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from Ovid's mythological tale where Daphne, a nymph pursued by Apollo, undergoes a transformative metamorphosis into a laurel tree to escape his advances. The artist skillfully captures the tension and emotion in this Renaissance masterpiece as Apollo reaches out towards Daphne while her body slowly transforms into branches and leaves. Believed to be originally created as part of a cassone (marriage chest), this panel exudes both beauty and symbolism. It serves as an allegory for unrequited love and the power of nature's protection against unwanted advances. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this painting exemplifies the mastery of the Master of the Judgement of Paris during his flourishing period around 1450 in Italy. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece, you can't help but be drawn into its narrative and appreciate its significance within art history. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every brushstroke with their high-quality reproduction, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to admire and cherish this timeless work for generations to come.
