"Der Schlafende Endymion" (The Sleeping Endymion) is a renowned painting by the French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson, completed in 1791. This neoclassical masterpiece captures the mythological figure Endymion, a shepherd of extraordinary beauty, who, according to legend, was granted eternal sleep by the moon goddess Selene so she could gaze upon him forever. Girodet's interpretation of this myth is celebrated for its exquisite detail, ethereal quality, and the artist's innovative use of light and shadow.

The painting depicts Endymion in a serene, almost otherworldly slumber, his youthful form bathed in a soft, luminous glow that suggests the divine presence of Selene. Girodet's meticulous attention to anatomical precision and the delicate rendering of textures, such as the drapery and the surrounding foliage, exemplify his mastery of the neoclassical style. The composition is both intimate and grand, with Endymion's reclining figure occupying the foreground while the background hints at a tranquil, moonlit landscape.

Girodet's work is notable for its departure from the more rigid and stoic representations typical of neoclassicism, infusing the scene with a sense of romanticism and emotional depth. The painting's dreamlike quality and the tender portrayal of Endymion's vulnerability invite viewers to contemplate themes of beauty, desire, and the intersection of the mortal and the divine.

"Der Schlafende Endymion" was well-received upon its debut and has since been regarded as a significant contribution to the neoclassical movement. It reflects Girodet's ability to blend classical ideals with a personal, poetic vision, marking him as a pivotal figure in the transition towards romanticism in French art. The painting remains a highlight of Girodet's oeuvre and continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and evocative power.
