Pierre-Paul Prud’hon, the Erynies
About the Item
The Erynies: Alecto, Tisiphone, Megaera
by Pierre-Paul Prud’hon (French, 1758-1823)
oil on canvas
France, late 18th century
Measures: H 10.75; W 6 in,
The Erynies are the three Furies of Roman and Greek mythology; female spirits of Justice and Vengeance. Alecto, Tisiphone, and Megaera are the names of three Erynies, and each embody the process of vengeance. Alecto is endless, Tisiphone is punishment and Megaera is jealous rage. They are usually portrayed as three monstrous creatures with coal-black skin, bat wings, and serpent hair. In Pierre-Paul Prud'hon's portrayal of the Erynies, he painted three youthful, nude women, entangled in one another and joined by one serpent-like creature in the background. It is an example of the allegorical paintings Prud'hon was most appreciated for. He was Napoleon's court painter and his work is now exhibited in places such as the Louvre.

- 'Les Quatre Eléments' by Pierre Victor GallandLocated in Brighton, West SussexPierre-Victor GALLAND (1822-1892) ‘Les Quatre Eléments’ Four, oil on canvas. France, Circa 1873. Each painting depicting one of the cardinal elements personified as a female figure in the presence of its most evident attribute. Painted with strong light and colour. Earth panel depicts one of the four elements in a compelling fashion with an ascendent female figure robed in flowing drapery with foot and arm extended reaching skyward: each with attendant putti below. Earth is shown swathed in robes of greens and white, with a fanciful foliate headdress of lush leaves and bullrushes. Air leaps effortlessly into the sky draped in blush pink and holding a slender fruiting bough. Fire ascends dramatically into the sky holding forth a flaming torch and draped in bright burnished orange and grey, her image seemingly lit from a fire kindled below by an ignipotent putto. Water suitably draped in billowing azure blue with a translucent undergarment, holds aloft a bubble representing water is portrayed with shimmering translucent wings, an attendant winged putto pulling at her hem. Under the Second Empire, Haussmann’s transformation of Paris went hand in hand with the construction of luxurious mansions for the new haute bourgeois. Gallards extensive work for wealthy patrons such as Lionel de Rothschild and Edouard André, led him to become one of Paris’s most admired and sought-after decorative artists. His fame quickly spread and led him to carry out projects outside the capital for, among others, Baron von Derwies in Nice, Prince Narischkine in Saint Petersburg and William Vanderbilt in the United States.
