Apollo and Daphne by Bernini

by Gian Lorenzo Bernini 1622-1625
Cupid, offended by Apollo's boastfulness, fired two arrows from his bow. One arrow to excite Apollo's love for Daphne, the nymph, and the second to make Daphne disgusted by Apollo. So as Apollo closes in on her she turns into a laurel tree.
