"Pygmalion et Galatée" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Louis Jean François Lagrenée, also known as Lagrenée l'Aîné (the elder), to distinguish him from his younger brother Jean-Jacques Lagrenée. Created in 1781, the painting depicts the mythological tale of Pygmalion and Galatea, which has been a popular subject in art and literature since classical antiquity. The story, most famously recounted by the Roman poet Ovid in his work "Metamorphoses," tells of the sculptor Pygmalion who falls in love with a statue he has carved. Moved by his devotion, the goddess Venus brings the statue to life, and it becomes Galatea, with whom Pygmalion finds love.

Lagrenée's interpretation of the myth is imbued with the Rococo style's characteristic grace and lightness, featuring soft colors, fluid lines, and a romantic atmosphere. The painting captures the moment of transformation with a tender and intimate expression, emphasizing the emotional connection between the artist and his creation. The use of light and shadow, as well as the delicate rendering of textures, showcases Lagrenée's skill in creating a dynamic and engaging narrative scene.

Louis Lagrenée was a prominent figure in the French art world of the 18th century, having received numerous accolades including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1749 and later becoming a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. His works are characterized by their classical themes and refined execution, and "Pygmalion et Galatée" stands as a testament to his artistic legacy. The painting is an exemplar of the themes of transformation and the power of art that resonate through the story of Pygmalion, making it a significant contribution to the canon of European art history.
