Description: The Oceanid nymph Clytie metamorphoses into a sunflower (the myth states a heliotrope) as she looks at the Sun god above her, who is refusing to look at her, drives his sun chariot in the sky. Her face is already spouting the petals, and her hands are morphing into leaves. Engraving by Abraham van Diepenbeeck, based on the story from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Below visible a Greek legend writing "Clytia turns into a heliotropium".
