Ker Xavier Roussel, a prominent French painter and lithographer, is celebrated for his contributions to the Post-Impressionist and Nabi movements. One of his notable works, "Etude Pour Acis Et Galatee Surpris Par Polypheme," circa 1910, exemplifies his mastery in blending mythological themes with a vivid, expressive style. This study, which translates to "Study for Acis and Galatea Surprised by Polyphemus," draws inspiration from the classical myth of Acis, a mortal shepherd, and Galatea, a sea nymph, whose love story is tragically interrupted by the jealous Cyclops, Polyphemus.

Roussel's interpretation of this mythological narrative is rendered with a dynamic composition and a rich palette, characteristic of his mature style. The painting captures the dramatic moment when Polyphemus discovers the lovers, a scene fraught with tension and impending doom. Roussel's use of color and form not only conveys the emotional intensity of the myth but also reflects his deep engagement with the Symbolist movement, which sought to evoke the unseen and the emotional through art.

The circa 1910 date places this work in a period when Roussel was deeply influenced by his contemporaries, including Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard, with whom he shared a close association. The Nabis, a group of avant-garde artists to which Roussel belonged, were known for their innovative approaches to composition, color, and subject matter, often drawing from literature, mythology, and personal symbolism.

"Etude Pour Acis Et Galatee Surpris Par Polypheme" is a testament to Roussel's ability to infuse classical themes with modern sensibilities, creating works that resonate with both historical significance and contemporary relevance. This piece not only highlights Roussel's technical prowess but also his capacity to convey complex narratives through the medium of paint, making it a significant work in the study of early 20th-century French art.
