"Endymion 'ah! Well-a-day, Why Should Our Young Endymion Pine Away!'" is a notable painting by the British artist Briton Rivière, created in the late 19th century. Rivière, who was born in 1840 and passed away in 1920, was renowned for his evocative and often sentimental depictions of animals and mythological subjects. This particular work draws inspiration from the classical myth of Endymion, a handsome shepherd or hunter in Greek mythology who was loved by the moon goddess Selene.

The painting captures a poignant moment from the myth, reflecting Rivière's ability to blend human emotion with mythological themes. The title itself is a line from John Keats' poem "Endymion," which underscores the romantic and melancholic tone of the artwork. In the myth, Endymion is granted eternal youth and immortality by Zeus, but he is also placed in an eternal sleep, which allows Selene to visit him every night. Rivière's interpretation likely focuses on the pathos of Endymion's eternal slumber and the goddess's unending love.

Rivière's technique in this painting is characteristic of his style, which often features meticulous attention to detail and a soft, almost dreamlike quality. The use of light and shadow, particularly in the depiction of the moonlit scene, enhances the ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere of the painting. The emotional depth conveyed through the expressions and body language of the figures adds to the overall impact of the work.

"Endymion 'ah! Well-a-day, Why Should Our Young Endymion Pine Away!'" is a testament to Rivière's skill in merging narrative and visual art, creating a piece that resonates with viewers through its beauty and emotional resonance. The painting remains an important example of 19th-century British art and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and thematic richness.
