This painting is an exquisite representation of a mythological narrative derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," showcasing van Loo's mastery in depicting complex emotional states and dynamic compositions. The artwork vividly portrays the tragic climax of the love story between Acis, a mortal shepherd, and Galatea, a sea nymph, which is violently interrupted by the jealous cyclops Polyphemus.
