"The Wife of Pygmalion" is a notable painting by the eminent British artist George Frederick Watts, created in the late 19th century. Watts, a prominent figure in the Symbolist movement, is renowned for his allegorical works that often explore profound themes of love, life, and human experience. This particular painting draws inspiration from the classical myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved, which was subsequently brought to life by the goddess Aphrodite.

In "The Wife of Pygmalion," Watts delves into the moment of transformation and the subsequent life of the statue-turned-woman. The painting captures the essence of metamorphosis and the divine intervention that breathes life into art. Watts's use of light and shadow, coupled with his meticulous attention to detail, imbues the work with a sense of ethereal beauty and otherworldliness. The figure of the wife is depicted with a serene and contemplative expression, embodying both the innocence of her creation and the depth of her newfound humanity.

Watts's choice of subject matter reflects his fascination with the intersection of art and life, a recurring theme in his oeuvre. The painting is also indicative of the Victorian era's broader cultural engagement with classical mythology and its symbolic potential. "The Wife of Pygmalion" stands as a testament to Watts's skill in merging narrative and symbolism, creating a work that resonates with both aesthetic and philosophical significance.

The painting is housed in the Watts Gallery in Compton, Surrey, which is dedicated to the artist's legacy and showcases a comprehensive collection of his works. "The Wife of Pygmalion" remains a significant piece within Watts's body of work, exemplifying his mastery of the Symbolist style and his enduring impact on the art world.
