The Painting shows an Inversion of the Original Story. Pygmalion turnes into a statue while Galatea becomes a living woman.
Paul Delvaux's interpretation of the Pygmalion myth reimagines the story by integrating themes of surrealism and the subconscious, creating a unique dialogue between the artist and his subject. In his works, Delvaux often portrays the female figure as both an object of desire and a symbol of mystery, challenging traditional perceptions of femininity and agency. This approach not only reshapes the narrative of Pygmalion but also influences the broader discourse on the relationship between art, gender, and identity, marking a significant shift in the way these themes are explored in modern art. Through his evocative imagery and dreamlike settings, Delvaux invites viewers to question the nature of creation and the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
The original Greek myth.
The main conflict in the story of Pygmalion and Galatea is Pygmalion's love for an ivory statue he has carved, Galatea, and his desire for her to come to life. The conflict arises from the tension between Pygmalion's deep emotional connection to the statue and his yearning for her to be a living being. Ultimately, the resolution occurs when the goddess Aphrodite grants Pygmalion's wish and brings Galatea to life.
This is a story from ancient Greece. It tells of how Pygmalion fell in love with a statue that he created when he decided that women were inferior.
