Painting and Sculpture
Apollo and Marsyas (Giordano, Naples)
Apollo and Marsyas is a 1659–1660 oil on canvas painting by the Italian Baroque artist Luca Giordano, now in the museo nazionale di Capodimonte in Naples. It was modeled on Ribera's 1637 work on the same subject in the same gallery. Giordano returned to the subject several times, sometimes varying the composition and sometimes using different sized canvases. A copy of the Naples version, made about a year later at a slightly smaller size, is now in a private collection.
