少女飘扬的长发,翻飞的衣袂,优美的姿态,使画面极富动势。少女衣褶除阴影的处理似乎受到印象派的影响。

Lamia 雷米尔
Painting Date: 1905
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 57 x 36 in
Location: Private Collection

传说中雷米尔是女妖,她化作漂亮女子诱惑男子然后吃掉。
本图根据John Keat的诗Lamia写成
She was a gordian shape of dazzling hue,
Vermilion-spotted, golden, green, and blue;
Striped like a zebra, freckled like a pard,
Eyed like a peacock, and all crimson barr'd;
And full of silver moons, that, as she breathed,
Dissolv'd, or brighter shone, or interwreathed
Their lustres with the gloomier tapestries--
So rainbow-sided, touch'd with miseries,
She seem'd, at once, some penanced lady elf,
Some demon's mistress, or the demon's self.

普绪克是人类灵魂的象征。

丘比特和普绪克成为恋人,但丘比特禁止普绪克看他,后来普绪克还是看到了丘比特,丘比特逃走了。
