Pygmalion and the Image: The Godhead Fires, 1878

Edward Burne-Jones, 1833-1898

oil on canvas

Venus, goddess of love, sees Pygmalion's desire for his creation
and takes pity on him. Answering his prayers, she enters the studio
and transforms the cold marble into a beautiful living woman, Galatea.
Burne-Jones shows Venus floating above a pool of water, drawing upon
the traditional image of the birth of the goddess from the sea.
