EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless tale of Pygmalion and Galatea, depicted in an oil on canvas masterpiece by Jean Leon Gerome. The painting, dating back to 1890, measures 88.9 x 68.6 cm and is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, this mythological narrative unfolds as Pygmalion, a skilled sculptor, becomes infatuated with his own creation - a stunningly beautiful statue. In a twist of fate orchestrated by the goddess Venus herself, the sculpture miraculously comes to life at Pygmalion's fervent request for a wife as exquisite as his artwork. The image showcases the artist's exceptional attention to detail and mastery of classical techniques. It portrays Galatea standing gracefully before her enamored creator while Cupid playfully aims his bow towards them. The composition exudes elegance and sensuality through its depiction of nudity and delicate gestures. Gerome's work epitomizes academicism with its precise execution and adherence to classical themes. Through this painting, he explores notions of love, beauty, and artistic creation within Roman mythology. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported into an enchanting world where art breathes life into stone sculptures – reminding us that even our wildest dreams can come true through imagination and divine intervention.
