EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Apollo, ca 1522" from the renowned Collection of Galleria Borghese in Rome. Created during the Renaissance period by an artist belonging to the School of Ferrara, this masterpiece beautifully captures a moment steeped in Greek mythology. The central figure is none other than Apollo himself, the god of music, poetry, and light. With his chiseled physique and radiant presence, he stands as a symbol of divine beauty. In this allegorical scene titled "Apollo and Daphne" we witness a tale of unrequited love unfold. Daphne, portrayed as a nymph with delicate features and gracefulness, attempts to flee from Apollo's advances. As she runs through a lush forest filled with dryads (tree nymphs), her transformation into a laurel tree begins before our eyes. The artist skillfully depicts her metamorphosis using oil on canvas techniques that bring forth both realism and enchantment. The painting transports us back to ancient times when gods roamed freely among mortals. It serves as a reminder of the power myths hold over human imagination and emotions even centuries later. This print invites viewers to delve into Greek mythology while appreciating the mastery behind Renaissance artistry. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured on film, let yourself be transported to another era where romance intertwines with tragedy amidst Italy's rich cultural heritage at Galleria Borghese in Rome - an experience that transcends mere commercial use or
