This Statues depict Apollo and Daphne  and it was made around 1720, by Giovanni Stanetti. The sculpture is located in the garden of Belvedere, Vienna. The figures are have been inspired by the famous Greek mythology. Apollo would mock Cupid for the use of his arch and arrows as he considered himself a great warrior patron of archery. Eros decided to punish him. He threw a golden arrow at him and a lead arrow at Daphne.This turned into Apollo being madly in love with the beautiful nymph Daphne who on the contrary did not love him back.  One day Daphne, tired of being persecuted by Apollo’s love, decides to seek help on earth. She asked her father Peneus to save her from this impossible love and to trap her on earth so that Apollo could not reach her. He accepted to help her and indeed transformed his beautiful daughter into a laurel tree. From then on, Apollo decided to carry laurel with him to honour his loved one forever.

There are many websites and other media showing collections of monuments. The images provided there reflect the perspective of the respective photographer. You have no way of seeing the monument from all sides and discovering interesting details that are particularly present in lavishly built monuments. This shortcoming has inspired me to create monuments and interesting buildings as 3D models and to make them available to you on "Lower Austria 3D". In the three-dimensional monuments shown here, you are the photographer. With simple navigation, you can rotate and turn the 3D model as you like and get a view that would not be possible on simple pictures or during a visit on site.
