"Clytie Turning Towards The Sun" is a notable painting by the British artist Thomas Matthew Rooke, who was an influential figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rooke, born in 1842 and passing in 1942, was a prominent member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. This group sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

The painting depicts the mythological figure Clytie, a water nymph from Greek mythology who was transformed into a sunflower. According to the myth, Clytie was in love with the sun god Helios, who did not reciprocate her feelings. Heartbroken, she spent her days watching him move across the sky until she was eventually transformed into a sunflower, forever turning her face towards the sun. Rooke's interpretation of this myth captures the poignant essence of unrequited love and transformation.

Rooke's work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and vibrant color palettes, both of which are evident in "Clytie Turning Towards The Sun." The painting showcases his skill in rendering natural elements and human emotion, blending them seamlessly to create a compelling narrative. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights Clytie's ethereal beauty and the tragic nature of her story.

"Clytie Turning Towards The Sun" is a testament to Rooke's mastery of the Pre-Raphaelite style and his ability to convey deep emotional and mythological themes through his art. The painting remains a significant piece within Rooke's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and narrative depth.
