About Glaucus and Scylla
Glaucus and Scylla is an 1841 oil painting by the English artist J.M.W. Turner. Entering the last decade of his career, Turner was a pillar of the British romantic movement, while experimenting increasingly in abstract compositions. This painting in inspired by a classical story from Ovid’s Metamorphoses in which the ocean-dwelling Glaucus is thwarted in his desire for the beautiful nymph Scylla by the jealous Circe who transforms him into a sea monster to scare her. As often with Turner he combines a classical scene with Romanticism.
