500169 Apollo and Daphne, c.1700 (terracotta) by Soldani, Massimiliano Benzi (1658-1740); 55.5x34.2x21.9 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Apollo, the Greek and Roman god of the sun and the arts, fell in love with the nymph Daphne. Chased to a riverbank, Daphne prayed to her father, the river god, Peneus, for help. At the moment Apollo reached out to touch her, she transformed into a laurel tree, branches and roots sprouting from her body. This work reveals key preoccupations of artists working in Italy in the 1600s: novel, active compositions; fleeting moments; and transformation from one physical form into another. Soldani based this work on a large-scale marble sculpture from 1622??5 by the Roman artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. ); The Severance and Greta Millikin Purchase Fund; Italian, out of copyright.
