Summary
editDescriptionGalatea (1847).jpg |
English: In 1847, the artist illustrated an episode taken from The Bucolics by Virgil. Our panel is a small version of this lost painting, recorded by Goupil’s photography and Alophe’s lithography, edited by Goupil and published in 1847 in the Revue des Arts. Galatea, whose name means “she who is milk-white”, was in love with a young Sicilian shepherd, Acis. His jealous rival, the cyclops Polyphemos, squashed him with a rock. The inconsolable Galatea prayed the gods to turn into a river the blood of his lover Acis, in order to bath every day. Today, a river has his name near the Etna volcano. |
