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]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
