About the piece
Created in 1810 by Anne-Louis Girodet, this work depicts the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, as she falls in love with the mortal Cephalus. The painting exemplifies Girodet's unique transition between Neoclassicism and Romanticism, characterized by supernatural light, porcelain-smooth skin tones, and a dreamlike atmospheric quality that lends a sense of otherworldly grace to the figures.
