English: The nymph Daphne prayed for rescue when she was pursued by the god Apollo. When he touched her, she was turned into a laurel. This is a story from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', Such pagan fables were popular subjects to decorate furniture in Florence.The landscape, like that in the altarpiece of the 'Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian', is based on the Arno valley near Florence, and is likely to date from the same period. |
