EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Gianlorenzo Bernini's masterpiece, "Group of Apollo and Daphne". Created in bronze by an anonymous Italian artist from the 18th century, this sculpture stands at an impressive height of 87.6 cm and is held within a private collection. The scene depicted here portrays the mythological tale of Apollo and Daphne as told by Ovid in his Metamorphoses. In a moment frozen in time, we witness Daphne transforming into a laurel tree while desperately fleeing from Apollo's relentless pursuit. The intense emotions are palpable as Apollo reaches out towards his beloved nymph who is forever lost to him. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every contour and expression expertly captured in bronze. The naturalistic base upon which this enthralling group stands adds depth and realism to the composition. Through this photograph, eChristies Images allows us to appreciate the beauty and power of Bernini's original work despite its absence before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to evoking strong emotions and telling timeless stories. Bridgeman Images presents us with an opportunity to delve into mythology, exploring themes such as love, transformation, desire, and loss through this extraordinary piece. Let your imagination run wild as you immerse yourself in this enchanting world where gods mingle with mortals and legends come alive before your very eyes.
