Apollo and Daphne (1622–1625) was the last special sculpture Bernini completed for Cardinal Borghese’s private collection. It is among the finest Bernini and Baroque marble sculptures ever made.
The sculpture is best appreciated from the front right where Apollo’s lust and Daphne’s horror may be seen simultaneously.
