About the piece
Painted by John Wood in 1832, this work captures the poetic moment when Selene, the personification of the moon, descends to visit the beautiful shepherd Endymion. The composition contrasts the ethereal, white-robed goddess against a dark, nocturnal landscape where Endymion rests with his faithful hounds.
