"Nymphs at the Grave of Adonis" is a 19th-century painting by the French artist Ernest Augustin Gendron, whose work is often associated with the Romantic and Academic art movements. The painting depicts a scene from classical mythology, specifically focusing on the aftermath of the death of Adonis, a figure renowned for his beauty and tragic love story with the goddess Aphrodite.

In the painting, Gendron captures the moment of mourning as nymphs, mythological spirits of nature, gather around the grave of the fallen Adonis. The nymphs are typically represented as embodiments of the natural world, and their presence at the grave signifies the impact of Adonis's death on nature itself. Gendron's use of color, composition, and emotive expression conveys a sense of sorrow and loss, while also reflecting the Romantic era's fascination with myth, nature, and the expression of deep emotions.

The artwork is a testament to Gendron's skill in rendering mythological subjects, which was a common practice among Academic artists of the time. They sought to depict scenes from mythology, history, and literature with a polished technique and often with an emphasis on idealized beauty and moral narratives. "Nymphs at the Grave of Adonis" exemplifies this approach, showcasing Gendron's ability to weave narrative, emotion, and classical references into a harmonious visual tableau.

Ernest Augustin Gendron (1817–1881) was a notable figure in the French art scene of his time, and his works were exhibited in the Paris Salon, an official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. "Nymphs at the Grave of Adonis" remains a significant piece within Gendron's oeuvre, reflecting both his artistic talents and the broader cultural currents of 19th-century France. The painting is of interest to scholars of Romantic and Academic art, as well as to those studying the visual interpretations of classical mythology in modern European art.
