About the piece
This 1659 oil painting by Theodoor van Thulden captures the 'Triumph of Galatea' with the exuberant energy characteristic of the Flemish Baroque. Galatea sits centrally atop a massive sea beast, her pale skin contrasting against the deep blues and earthy tones of the sea and sky, while a swirling host of nymphs and cherubs celebrate her passage.
