Apollo and Marsyas is a 1659-1660 oil on canvas painting by Luca Giordano, now in the museo nazionale di Capodimonte in Naples.[1] It was a model for de Ribera's 1637 work on the same subject in the same gallery.[2]
Giordano returned to the subject several times, sometimes varying the composition and sometimes using different sized canvases, whereas the Naples version was copied about a year later at a slightly smaller size, now in a private collection.[2]
