Did you know that Meret Oppenheim drew inspiration from various stories and tales like the myth of Apollo and Daphne? In her painting "Daphne and Apollo," the artist depicts two figures as they transform into trees. In the traditional Greek myth, the nymph Daphne morphs into a laurel tree to escape the unwanted advances of the god Apollo.
