Hylas Surprised by the Naiades (1837)
John Gibson (1790–1866)
This life-size statue group in white marble presents a scene from Greek mythology in which the boy Hylas, the companion of Hercules, goes to collect water from a stream, and is lured into the depths by water nymphs who are entranced by his beauty. The nymphs (Naiades) simultaneously gaze admiringly and move to physically detain the boy. The taller nymph places her face against Hylas’s hair and strokes his cheek while gently restraining his arm. The other places a hand around the boy’s waist and takes his hand in hers. Hylas seems to lose his grip on the pitcher in surprise. His extended leg suggests that he is trying to leave, although he also appears entranced by the naked naiad.
Hylas Surprised by the Naiades draws on several classical sources. The boy’s profile resembles an antique gem engraving with ‘long hair in curls’, as described by the third-century Greek poet Theocritus. The amphora in his hand is based on excavated examples, and his pose echoes a relief of the subject on a sarcophagus at the Villa Mattei in Rome. The Greek inscription translates as ‘Beautiful Hylas’.

Waterhouse, John William. Saint Eulalia. 1885. Oil on canvas. 188.6 cm x 117.5 cm. Tate Britain, London.
Another painting from Waterhouse, This piece inspires me because of the impressive use of foreshortening and angles as well as the contrast in colors between the woman’s skin and the white of the snow as well as the many different angles and positions of the birds. To me, it seems like there is a clash of old and new represented with this art. The woman seems out of place in the time period for some reason, not to mention foreshortening did not show up during the time period that this is seemingly set.

S E X Y P I N K
Views of Hew Locke’s monumental opus, The Procession. The work is installed at the Tate Britain. Every single element is imbued with the history, anguish, joy and spectacle of the Caribbean. If you’re lucky enough to be able to see it, put aside a few of hours to take it all in. @hewdjlocke @tate
