Apoll verfolgt Daphne durch einen alten Wald 

Franz Kobell's "Apoll verfolgt Daphne durch einen alten Wald" depicts a scene from Greek mythology in which the god Apollo chases Daphne, a nymph, through a dense forest. The artwork is a pen drawing, executed with masterful hatching techniques, which creates a sense of depth and texture within the forest setting. The artist’s focus on the natural world, characteristic of his landscapes, is evident in the meticulously rendered trees and foliage. Kobell’s work is appreciated for its realistic representation of nature and his ability to capture the fleeting beauty of the natural world. The drawing, currently housed in the Städel Museum, is a testament to Kobell's artistic talent and his fascination with classical mythology.
