"Clyties of the Mist" is a notable painting by the English artist Herbert James Draper, created in 1912. Draper, renowned for his contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and his focus on mythological themes, explores the narrative of Clytie, a figure from ancient Greek mythology, in this work. Clytie, a water nymph, was deeply in love with the sun god Apollo, who did not return her affections. According to the myth, she watched him move across the sky until she turned into a sunflower, forever facing the sun.

In "Clyties of the Mist," Draper captures a moment of ethereal beauty and melancholy, portraying Clytie and other nymphs emerging from the mist, symbolizing both their elemental nature and the ephemeral quality of their existence. The painting is characterized by its soft, diffused light and the delicate rendering of the figures, which reflect Draper's mastery of mood and atmosphere. The use of mist as a motif not only adds a layer of mystery but also serves to highlight the theme of unrequited love and transformation, central to the myth of Clytie.

This artwork stands as a testament to Draper's fascination with classical mythology and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of romanticism and emotional depth. "Clyties of the Mist" is celebrated for its technical excellence, its poignant storytelling, and its contribution to the revival of mythological themes in Victorian art. It remains an important piece within Draper's oeuvre, offering insight into the late Victorian and Edwardian era's cultural fascination with myth, beauty, and the natural world.
