EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louis Gauffier's masterpiece, "Pygmalion and Galatea" painted in 1797. The oil on canvas painting measures 67.5x51.2 cm and is housed at the Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. The artwork depicts a scene from Greek mythology, specifically from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Pygmalion, a talented sculptor, has fallen deeply in love with his own creation, Galatea—a stunningly beautiful female statue brought to life by Aphrodite herself. In this neo-classical portrayal, Gauffier skillfully captures Pygmalion's infatuation and obsession with his ethereal creation. The composition exudes an air of classical elegance as it explores themes of love, desire, and transformation. With meticulous attention to detail, Gauffier brings the mythological characters to life through his masterful brushwork. The artist ingeniously portrays Galatea as a semi-nude figure radiating grace and beauty while capturing Pygmalion's adoration through his intense gaze towards her. The presence of Cupid symbolizes the divine intervention that sparked their union. Gauffier's rendition beautifully merges elements of sculpture and painting within this studio setting. The delicate play of light adds depth to the figures' forms against a backdrop reminiscent of Pompeian interiors. "Pygmalion and Galatea" stands as an exquisite example of neoclassical artistry that continues to captivate
