Immerse yourself in the breathtaking allure of “Apollo e Dafne,” a stunning photograph encapsulating the raw emotion of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s iconic sculpture created in 1622 and housed within the Galleria Borghese in Rome.

This photograph, bathed in soft, ambient light, captures the pivotal moment in the tragic Greek myth where the nymph Daphne, pursued by the god Apollo, transforms into a laurel tree to escape his advances.

As the photographer, I was profoundly moved by the sheer intensity of emotion that Bernini’s masterpiece evoked. I wanted to convey that sense of longing and beauty frozen in an eternal moment.

The photograph was taken late in the afternoon, just as the dwindling sunlight filtered through the windows, casting long, intriguing shadows that further emphasize the dramatic tension of the scene. The soft glow creates a deeply engaging contrast of light and shadow, giving the image a profound depth and a subtle hint of mystery.
