About the piece
Painted by Anne-Louis Girodet in 1791, this masterpiece depicts the shepherd Endymion in an eternal, divinely-granted sleep. The work is celebrated for its dramatic chiaroscuro and the luminous treatment of the figure, who is bathed in the silvery light of the moon goddess Selene while Zephyrus parts the branches above.
