About the piece
Created around 1850 by the French Romantic master Eugène Delacroix, this painting depicts a pivotal moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The work showcases Delacroix’s characteristic expressive brushwork and rich palette, contrasting the luminous, startled figures of the goddess and her nymphs against the deep, shadowy greens of a secluded forest.
