Notes
Deutsch: Fresko aus dem Kasino der Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati. 1958 von Anton Graf Lanckoronski an die National Gallery in London verkauft. NG6286.
English: For the subject of this fresco (now transferred to canvas mounted on board) see Ovid, 'Metamorphoses' (10). Cyparissus, beloved by Apollo, accidentally killed a favourite stag; he was so distressed that he begged to be allowed to mourn for ever, and was turned into a cypress.

The upper portion of the composition, with Apollo seated on clouds, remains in situ at the Villa Aldobrandini.

It is thought that Domenichino provided the general design, but may not have executed the fresco.

NG6286. Bought, 1958.
