In "Daphne" Renée Sintenis presumably created the finest expression of human grace. Daphne, harassed by Apoll, daughter of Peneios, is turned into a laurel tree upon her prayer. Sintenis hints at the transformation only in form of leaves around her legs and in Daphne's hair, the artist focusses all on her fragile physicalness, anticipating the metamorphosis in the elongated limbs. [CB].
