"Hylas and the Nymphs" is a celebrated oil painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1896. The artwork is renowned for its captivating depiction of a scene from Greek mythology, where Hylas, a young companion of Hercules, is enticed by a group of water nymphs known as Naiads. The painting is a quintessential example of Waterhouse's fascination with mythological subjects and his ability to blend classical themes with the romanticism characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

The composition of "Hylas and the Nymphs" is set against the backdrop of a serene and mystical pond, where the nymphs, depicted with ethereal beauty, lure Hylas to his doom. The figures are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, and the use of light and color captures the enchanting and seductive atmosphere of the scene. Waterhouse's portrayal of the Naiads, with their longing gazes and fluid forms, contrasts with the innocence and vulnerability of Hylas, highlighting the painting's themes of temptation and the perilous allure of the unknown.

Measuring 98.2 cm × 163.3 cm (38.7 in × 64.3 in), the painting is housed in the Manchester Art Gallery, where it remains one of the gallery's most popular and admired works. "Hylas and the Nymphs" has been the subject of both admiration and controversy, particularly regarding its sensual depiction of the female form and the implications of the mythological narrative. Despite this, the painting endures as a masterful representation of Waterhouse's artistic vision and a significant contribution to the canon of 19th-century British art.
