Wtewael’s Cephalus and Procris

August 11th, 2009

Judy Mann, a curator at Saint Louis Art Museum, describes Joachim Wtewael’s idealized rendition of Ovid’s Cephalus and Procris, a dramatic couple who can be read about in Book 7 of the Metamorphoses. The painting is in the Pulitzer’s Main Gallery for Ideal (Dis-) Placements: Old Masters at the Pulitzer, and is on loan from the St. Louis Art Museum.

Over seventy readers from the St. Louis, MO area read Ovid's Metamorphoses in fifteen-minute turns, finishing the Classic in its entirety Sunday evening.
