Judith, Venus, Shalott and Proserpina · The ancient story as a modern mirror
Judith acts, Venus is reflected, the Lady of Shalott leaves her tower and Proserpina holds the fruit of the passage: the symbolists use the legend to speak of desire, choice and separation.
Symbolism does not return to myths to faithfully reconstruct Antiquity or the Middle Ages. He looks for vocabulary old enough to express modern crises. Judith becomes power and danger; Venus questions beauty and gaze; the Lady of Shalott embodies the artist separated from the world; Proserpina divides the story between light and the underground kingdom. Moreau, Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Waterhouse and Klimt condense the story around an attribute, a pose or a color. The legend then functions as a collective memory crossed by a new psychology. The legend then functions as a collective memory crossed by a new psychology. The selection "Symbolist Myths and Legends" notably compares Judith II, known as Salomé, and The Mirror of Venus - Edward Burne-Jones. Its reading favors space.
The symbolist myth is ancient in its names, modern in the concerns it allows to move and make visible.
