About the piece
Painted around 1670 by Charles de La Fosse, this work captures the dramatic energy and painterly richness of the French Baroque. Galatea sits triumphantly at the center of a dynamic maritime procession, her luminous form contrasting with the churning waves and the dark, looming presence of Polyphemus on the cliffs behind her.
