Description
Boris Vallejo - "Pygmalion and Galatea" 1989 Calendar Painting Original Art (1988). From Greek mythology: Pygmalion, King of Cyprus, was a talented sculptor. Among the many statues he carved was one featuring his vision of the perfect woman, which he named Galatea. After Pygmalion fell madly in love with his lifelike creation, Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty and Love, took pity on the sculptor, transformed Galatea into a living woman, and presided over the marriage of the two. On an interesting side note, in this scene, the figure of Pygmalion was modeled after painter Greg Hildebrandt. This painting has been professionally framed to an approximate overall size of 31" x 30", and is in Excellent condition.Auction Info
