Ariadne, Medea, Pygmalion and Venus · Antiquity as a living desire
Medea prepares the spell, Pygmalion sees the image come to life and Venus crosses the world: Pre-Raphaelite Antiquity favors the moment when desire and metamorphosis become dangerous.
Alongside the Middle Ages, late Pre-Raphaelites draw on Ovid, Homer and Greek tragedy. Waterhouse dramatizes Jason and Medea by giving the enchantress knowledge, gesture and autonomy. Burne-Jones constructs cycles where Pygmalion encounters the image that has become alive, Ariadne faces abandonment and Venus acts as a force of transformation. Idealized bodies remain surrounded by plants, fabrics and objects meticulously painted: the ancient myth becomes a Victorian psychological experience. The idealized bodies remain surrounded by plants, fabrics and objects meticulously painted: the ancient myth becomes a Victorian psychological experience. The selection "Pre-Raphaelite Mythology and Antiquity" notably compares Bacchus and Ariadne, a Pre-Raphaelite study - Edward Burne-Jones and Jason and Medea. His reading favors composition.
Pre-Raphaelite Antiquity does not seek the serenity of marble: it seeks the moment when the statue breathes and when fate begins.
