Experience the exquisite artistry of the legendary sculpture “Apollo Pursuing Daphne,” a stunning representation of a timeless myth captured in resina. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece reflects the intricate dynamics of the chase between the sun god Apollo and the nymph Daphne, as immortalized in Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
This remarkable replica showcases the elegant lines and fluid movement characteristic of the Coustou brothers’ original work, embodying the transition from the grandeur of Versailles to a more naturalistic style that flourished in the early 18th century. Apollo is depicted in a moment of fervent pursuit, his figure poised with an outstretched arm and leg, suggesting both speed and determination. The flowing drapery and wind-swept hair contribute to the sense of urgency, while Daphne’s expression captures the terror of her flight, her body contorted in a dramatic plea for escape.
Finished with a patina that mimics the appearance of marble and bronze, this sculpture not only brings a piece of classical heritage into your space but also showcases the superior craftsmanship that goes into each creation. The thoughtful design includes a stabilizing tree trunk, a technical marvel that highlights the fragility of the original material while maintaining the integrity of the composition.
Perfect for art lovers and collectors alike, this sculpture serves as a striking focal point, inviting admiration and conversation. Bring home the dynamic beauty of “Apollo Pursuing Daphne” and allow this masterpiece to inspire your surroundings with its rich history and
