Apollo and Daphne — Jean Etienne Liotard

Jean Etienne Liotard’s Apollo and Daphne, dated 1736, presents the celebrated classical myth of Apollo’s pursuit of Daphne, whose escape culminates in her transformation into a laurel tree. Created with the polished refinement associated with eighteenth-century Rococo art, the work interprets this dramatic tale through Liotard’s distinctive elegance and sensitivity. The myth’s themes of desire, flight, and metamorphosis lend the composition enduring emotional and symbolic resonance. This museum-inspired reproduction honours the literary richness and graceful artistry of the original artwork. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings a distinguished mythological image to interiors shaped by beauty, culture, and classical art.

Our museum-inspired reproductions are printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper, with edge-to-edge artwork and supplied unframed.

To prepare selected historical artworks for fine-art printing, we digitally enhance images where necessary, including adjustments to brightness, contrast and colour balance. These refinements are intended to improve print reproduction while respecting the character of the original artwork. Colours and tonal values may therefore differ from the original painting.
