A England Leighton’s Nymphs – Clytie

Clytie

Raw umber

Warm earthy brown permeated by golden rays and set alight by a blazing prismatic hologram.

“I have shown the Goddess in adoration before the setting sun, whose last rays are permeating her whole being” Frederic Leighton.

Frederic Leighton’s iconic painting depicts the nymph Clytie, who having been abandoned by her lover – the sun god Apollo – spends her days heartbroken, watching him ride his fiery chariot across the sky.
