"Cephalus and Procris" is a painting by the Dutch artist Abraham Bloemaert, created in the early 17th century. This work of art is a visual representation of the tragic mythological story of Cephalus, a mortal loved by the goddess Aurora, and his faithful wife Procris, as recounted in Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The painting is a testament to Bloemaert's skill in capturing the emotional depth and complexity of human relationships, set against the backdrop of divine intervention and tragic misunderstanding.

In the myth, Cephalus is tricked into killing his beloved wife with a magical, unerring spear given to him by Procris herself. Bloemaert's depiction of the moment captures the dramatic climax of the narrative, often focusing on the themes of love, betrayal, and the consequences of miscommunication. The artist's use of color, composition, and the interplay of light and shadow serves to enhance the emotional impact of the scene and invites the viewer to contemplate the moral and emotional dimensions of the story.

Abraham Bloemaert (1566–1651) was a prominent figure in the Dutch Golden Age of painting, known for his influence on the Utrecht school of painting and for training many important Dutch artists. His style is characterized by a blend of Mannerist and early Baroque elements, with a particular emphasis on chiaroscuro and the depiction of fabric and texture. "Cephalus and Procris" is a fine example of Bloemaert's mature work, showcasing his ability to convey narrative and emotion through his art.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in several museums, reflecting its historical and artistic significance. As a work that bridges the gap between the Renaissance and Baroque periods, "Cephalus and Procris" by Abraham Bloemaert remains an important piece for the study of European art history and the enduring power of mythological subjects in visual art.
