"Acis and Galatea" is a painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, created in the 17th century, which depicts a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The painting illustrates the tragic love story of Acis, a mortal shepherd, and Galatea, a sea nymph. Their tale is one of love and loss, ultimately disrupted by the cyclops Polyphemus, who is also in love with Galatea and kills Acis in a fit of jealousy. Poussin's work captures the moment of tender affection between the lovers, often with a pastoral landscape that serves as a backdrop, emphasizing the idyllic yet doomed nature of their relationship.

Poussin, known for his classical style and thematic focus on antiquity and mythology, brings a sense of order and rationality to the emotional narrative. His use of clear, harmonious compositions and his skillful rendering of the human figure are evident in this work. The painting is a reflection of Poussin's mastery in conveying complex stories through art and is considered an important example of his contribution to classical French painting.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not always clear, as Poussin revisited classical themes throughout his career, and there may be multiple versions or interpretations of the same mythological subject. "Acis and Galatea" by Poussin is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its representation of 17th-century French art's engagement with classical themes. The painting is typically housed in a notable museum or art collection, contributing to the understanding of Poussin's oeuvre and the broader context of Baroque painting.
