In George Frederic Watts's 'Endymion', the artist captures the ethereal myth of Endymion and Selene. This oil painting depicts the sleeping shepherd visited by the goddess of the moon.
George Frederic Watts, a prominent British painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement, created 'Endymion'. This oil on canvas depicts the Greek mythological figure Endymion, a shepherd or hunter of great beauty, who was loved by Selene, the goddess of the moon. Selene cast a spell upon him, granting him eternal youth but also perpetual sleep. Watts's interpretation captures the ethereal quality of this myth. The painting shows the nude Endymion reclining, his body bathed in a soft, diffused light. Selene, draped in flowing white fabric, hovers above him, her face close to his. The colour palette is muted, dominated by creams, browns, and greys, which adds to the dreamlike atmosphere. The composition is carefully arranged to emphasise the connection between the mortal and the divine, with Selene's form almost merging with the shadows behind her. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and timeless beauty.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
