Galatea, “ she who is milk-white “.

Galatea is also the name of Polyphemus's object

of desire in Theocritus's Idylls VI and XI

and is linked with Polyphemus again in the myth

of Acis and Galatea in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

——

Galatea (circa 1880) by Gustave Moreau

Illustrator Nicolas Delort uses a scratchboard in a manner which evokes the engravings of Here's his take on the classic Éowyn vs Witch-king encounter - A Woman's Courage. Yes, there are uncanonical details, but look at that dismount from the Witch-king...

For a very hot morning, the Queen of the Night fan, painted by Gustave-François Lasellaz (1848-1910) and scattered with rose diamonds.

The tortoiseshell sticks are particularly lovely, delicately carved and pieced to evoke rays of moonlight.

From the Fan Museum.

Thought I would continue this! Finishing that Yasha-Lucifer piece gave me more ideas for classical studies. So, I did Caleb as "The Desperate Man" by Gustave Courbet. I think it's pretty fitting. The reference is in the thread below! (1/2)
