Unknown artist, tapestry depicting a garden scene with Apollo, Daphne, and Cupid; seen on display at Warwick Castle 3 March 2010

It would be great to know more about this.

A detailed tapestry depicting a formal garden with classical statues, fountains, and figures working or enjoying the surroundings

Fairly standard iconography. Post Bernini (1622-25) for the depiction of Daphne, especially? Apollo's passive stance is interesting, also.
