Pygmalion, 1914 - A Captivating Portrait of Mythology and Fashion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "Pygmalion" a mesmerizing oil painting created by the talented British artist William Bruce Ellis Ranken in 1914. The artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts an elegant female figure seated against a dark background. In this early twentieth-century masterpiece, Ranken skillfully combines elements of mythology and fashion. The young woman's contemplative posture and pensive expression evoke the story of Pygmalion, the mythical sculptor who fell in love with his own creation brought to life. Her brown hair cascades beautifully around her face while adorned with delicate flowers that add a touch of femininity to her attire. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke as he captures the essence of modern traditional British style. The woman's fashionable dress and straw hat reflect the trends of the time, showcasing both elegance and sophistication. Ranken's mastery shines through as he expertly blends colors and textures on canvas, creating a harmonious composition that draws viewers into deep contemplation alongside his subject. This portrait exemplifies his ability to capture not only physical beauty but also inner thoughts and emotions. Through this remarkable piece, we are transported back to early 20th century Britain where mythological themes intertwine with contemporary fashion sensibilities. It serves as a testament to Ranken's artistic prowess and continues to captivate audiences today with its timeless allure.
