Is a large Baroque marble sculptural group by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
The Apollo and Daphne group, made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) between 1622 and 1625, was originally leaning against the wall bordering the chapel. It was moved to its current position at the end of the 18th century, when the furnishings of the room were conceived in relation to the sculpture, as documented in a drawing by the French architect Charles Percier (1764-1838). An explicit reference to Apollo is also the colossal marble head of the deity, a work from the 2nd century BC.
