"Pygmalion and Galatea" is a renowned oil painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, created in 1890. This artwork is a vivid representation of the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Pygmalion, a Cypriot sculptor, falls in love with a statue he has carved. The painting captures the moment of transformation, as the ivory statue of Galatea comes to life under Pygmalion's fervent prayers to Venus, the goddess of love. Gérôme's interpretation is celebrated for its intricate detail, emotional depth, and the seamless blend of realism and mythology.

Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) was a pivotal figure in 19th-century French painting, known for his works in the academicism style, which emphasized classical themes, historical accuracy, and meticulous detail. "Pygmalion and Galatea" stands out in Gérôme's oeuvre for its romanticism and its exploration of themes such as the power of art, love, and the blurring lines between reality and fantasy. The painting is a testament to Gérôme's mastery of light, texture, and human anatomy, showcasing his ability to bring mythical stories to life with a sense of immediacy and emotional resonance.

The work is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, forming part of their European Paintings collection. It continues to captivate audiences with its storytelling and visual appeal, remaining a significant piece in the study of 19th-century French art and the enduring fascination with classical mythology. Through "Pygmalion and Galatea," Gérôme contributes to the rich tapestry of artistic interpretations of ancient myths, offering viewers a glimpse into the transformative power of love and art.
