The vibrant colors employed by the artist bring life to this gruesome tale from Greek mythology, highlighting the contrast between Apollo's divine presence and Marsyas' mortal suffering. The Spanish painter, also known as Lo Spagnoletto, was renowned for his ability to depict religious subjects with great intensity. In "Apollo and Marsyas".
