'Apollo' is a haunting image of the power of music to realise higher instincts. The artist shows us Admetus’s flock of goats joined by lynxes, lions and dappled fauns, all totally enraptured by Apollo’s music and lying together, predator and prey alike, in an uncharacteristic harmony. The effect of presenting us with this image of a potential idyllic and peaceful co-existence is both elevating and ennobling.
