Cymon and Iphegenia [Ask Us A Question] Title: Cymon and Iphegenia Artist: John Everett Millais Description: This picture has recently been acquired for the Lady Lever collection. It was owned previously by the third Lord Leverhulme, who inherited it from the first Lord Leverhulme. It has been accepted into the national collections under the terms of the government's 'in lieu' system, as part-payment for estate duties. Millais was Lord Leverhulme's favourite artist and the picture now joins the other 7 paintings by this artist that can be seen at the Lady Lever Art Gallery. Millais painted this picture in 1847-48, when he was 18 years old. He was at the time a student at the Royal Academy and regarded as something of a prodigy. In 1846 an earlier painting by Millais called 'Pizarro seizing the Inca of Peru'had been received with considerable acclaim when exhibited at the summer exhibition of the Royal Academy. This picture was his next major serious subject painting. Rather surprisingly it does not seem to have been exhibited and was bought directly from Millais by the Oxford collector and dealer James Wyatt for ¡ê60. Millais borrowed it back from Wyatt in 1852 to repaint the sky and retouch some of the foliage and draperies. The subject is based upon a story from the Italian 15th century writer Boccaccio's 'Decameron'. Cymon, a good-looking but coarse-mannered and uneducated young man fell in love with the beautiful Iphegenia and eventually married her. Cymon was transformed into a sophisticated and accomplished gentleman as a result of the power of their mutual love. The story was quite well-known, having been translated into English verse by Dryden as well as later, in 1767, being turned into a dramatic romance with music by Thomas Augustine Arne - with the great actor David Garrick in the leading role. Arne had already enjoyed considerable success with a cantata for solo voice based upon the story of Cymon and Iphegenia which had been sung in public by a Mr Lowe at Vauxhall Gardens in 1750. Earlier artists had painted the subject including Rubens, Lely, Reynolds and Benjamin West. Media: Genuine 100% Hand Painted Oil Paintings On Canvas.
