"Acis and Galatea" (1758) is a notable oil painting by the German artist Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, who was part of a family of painters that had a significant influence on 18th-century European art. This work is an interpretation of the mythological tale from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," which tells the tragic love story of the nymph Galatea and the shepherd Acis, whose romance is doomed by the cyclops Polyphemus's jealousy.

In Tischbein's rendition, the focus is on the tender moment shared by the lovers Acis and Galatea, often depicted before the violent interruption by Polyphemus. The painting is characterized by its Rococo style, which is evident in the soft, pastel color palette, the fluidity of the figures, and the delicate play of light that imbues the scene with an ethereal quality. Tischbein's skillful composition and his ability to capture the emotional intensity of the narrative contribute to the painting's dramatic impact.

Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, born in 1722 in Haina, Germany, was renowned for his portraits and historical paintings. He became a prominent figure in the art world of his time, serving as a court painter and later as the director of the Academy of Arts in Kassel. "Acis and Galatea" is among his celebrated mythological works and reflects his mastery in portraying human emotion and his sophisticated handling of mythological themes.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it reflects the Enlightenment's interest in classical antiquity and the reinterpretation of ancient myths through the lens of contemporary artistic movements. Today, "Acis and Galatea" is appreciated for its historical value and as an exemplar of Tischbein's artistic legacy. It remains an important work for scholars studying the Rococo period and the broader context of 18th-century European art.
