EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture "Clytie, 1878" by George Frederic Watts. The artwork, displayed at the Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London, depicts Clytie, a mythical water nymph and daughter of Babylonian King Oceanus and Tethys. In this mesmerizing piece, Clytie is portrayed as a beautiful female figure with delicate features and flowing hair. Her bare breasts symbolize her connection to nature and her role as a water nymph. Positioned against a backdrop of lush flowers and foliage, she stands gracefully with sunflowers adorning her head. The sculpture captures an intriguing moment in Greek mythology - Clytie's metamorphosis from human form into a sunflower. As the story goes, she was hopelessly in love with Apollo but was rejected for another woman. Consumed by heartbreak and longing for his affection, she spent days gazing at him as he crossed the sky on his chariot. As time passed without reciprocation from Apollo, Clytie gradually transformed into a sunflower to forever face him throughout his journey across the heavens. This poignant tale of unrequited love is beautifully depicted through Watts' skillful craftsmanship. With its intricate details and evocative portrayal of emotion, "Clytie" remains an enduring testament to both mythological storytelling and artistic mastery.
