Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Italy; Sicily
Description: This image depicts the sea-God Glaucus chasing after the beautiful Scylla. Glaucus had seen Scylla walking alone the shoreline when he immediately became infatuated with her. He catches up to her and tells her the story of how he became a sea-God. After telling his story, she continues to run away. In this image, Scylla is depicted running away from Glaucus with her hands in the air and an expression of disgust. Glaucus has his arms reaching out towards her as the upper half of his body is emerging out of the water and the lower half of his body (a large fish tail) is in the water.
