The chiral constituent quark model is applied to predict the magnetic M1 and electric E2 amplitudes of the {Delta}{leftrightarrow}{gamma}N transition. It is found that the one-meson-exchange quark-quark potential due to the chiral fields enhances the E2/M1 ratio by a factor of about 2. The predicted M{sub 1{sup +}} amplitude and the E2/M1 ratio {approx_equal}{minus}1.0{percent} are within the range determined from a recent analysis of the data of pion photoproduction. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
