COUSTOU, Guillaume I - Daphne (Artwork) Crewneck Sweatshirt
A Frozen Moment of Myth
This crewneck sweatshirt showcases a dynamic and dramatic design drawn from Guillaume Coustou's renowned marble sculpture, "Daphné (poursuivie par Apollon)." The artwork captures a pivotal instant from the myth of Daphne and Apollo, where the nymph, pursued by the god, transforms into a laurel tree to escape his advances.
Movement and Emotion in Stone
The design vividly represents Daphne at the height of her flight, her form expressing both fear and determination. Coustou’s Baroque style is evident in the dynamic pose and expressive gestures. The design communicates the tension of the chase with a sense of urgent movement. This conveys Daphne’s desperation, her body language telling a story of transformation and desperate hope.
Symbolism of Pursuit and Transformation
The artwork encapsulates the core themes of the myth. It represents the tension between pursuit and escape, desire and refusal. Daphne's transformation into a laurel tree symbolizes the preservation of her virtue, and this artwork captures the dramatic climax of that action. It's a testament to the power of mythology and the capacity of art to freeze a critical moment in time.
