✍️ "Apollon and Daphne" (c. 1743-1744) by Giambattista Tiepolo depicts an episode from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Daphne seeks to escape Apollo. The Venetian artist shows as simultaneous the end of Apollo's chase and the nymph's transformation into a laurel tree: she half-turns towards Apollo, but already the laurel shoots sprouting from her fingertips make it clear how her flight must end. - 📸© RMN - Grand Palais (Musée du Louvre) / Franck Raux
