Artist's Comments

Daphne, daughter of Gea, changed into a tree to escape from Apollo's love.


:bulletred: Story:

Apollo is also well known for his big mistake in mocking a fellow god. One day he made fun of Eros, saying he had no archery skill and was too small to have much significance. Eros then shot an arrow at Apollo, making him infatuated with the sea nymph Daphne. He then shot another arrow at Daphne which made her unable to love anyone. Apollo continuously persued Daphne until she finally called for help from a river god and she was changed into a laural tree before Apollo could get to her. This is why the laurel is his sacred tree.

Me likes it! Even though the texure of the trees doesn't really match that of Daphne, it's still a great pic. Wonderfully evocative. Hurrah!

Il disegno è talmente perfetto che guardandolo quasi ci si immedesima in quello che provava Daphne quando fu trasformata in albero

E' difficile commentarne la bellezza, non esistono le parole adatte, quindi mi limito solo a guardarlo lasciandomi incantare

Complimenti Sabrine, è un onore poter dire "io c'ero" :)
