"Endymion" is a painting by George Frederick Watts, an eminent Victorian painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement. Watts, who lived from 1817 to 1904, was widely considered one of the most important and influential British artists of the 19th century, often referred to as "England's Michelangelo." His work typically dealt with grand, philosophical themes and allegories, rendered with a rich use of symbolism.

The painting "Endymion" takes its name and subject from the figure of Greek mythology—Endymion, a beautiful youth who was granted eternal youth and immortality by Zeus, so that he would sleep forever, untouched by time and age. The myth of Endymion is often associated with themes of beauty, love, and perpetual sleep, as he was loved by the moon goddess Selene, who visited him nightly.

In Watts's interpretation, the figure of Endymion is often depicted in a state of serene repose, embodying the romantic and aesthetic ideals of beauty and tranquility. The work is characteristic of Watts's style, which combined the classical grandeur of Renaissance art with the emotional depth and spiritual yearning of the Pre-Raphaelites and Symbolists.

"Endymion" by Watts is a significant piece within the broader context of Victorian art, reflecting the era's fascination with classical mythology and its penchant for using such stories to explore contemporary themes and concerns. The painting is a testament to Watts's skill in using mythological subject matter to convey timeless and universal human experiences, such as the desire for beauty and the contemplation of mortality.

As with many of Watts's paintings, "Endymion" would have been intended to inspire the viewer to reflect on deeper philosophical questions, in line with the artist's belief in the moral and didactic purpose of art. The work is part of a larger body of Watts's art that engages with mythological and allegorical subjects, contributing to his reputation as a painter of intellectual and spiritual depth.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of Watts's artistic legacy. "Endymion" remains an important example of Victorian art and a key work in understanding the cultural and aesthetic preoccupations of the period.
