(b. 1594, Les Andelys, d. 1665, Roma) Acis and Galatea c. 1630 Oil on canvas, 97 x 135 cm National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin Galatea is a Nereid, or sea-nymph, of Sicilian origin. Ovid (Met. 13:750-897) tells how she loved a handsome youth Acis and was herself loved by Polyphemus, a monstrous one-eyed giant, one of the race of Cyclops. The giant set on a promontory overlooking the sea and played a love song to Galatea on his pipes. Afterwards, wandering disconsolately among the rocks, he discovered her lying in the arms of Acis. The couple fled and Polyphemus in a rage flung a great boulder which killed Acis.
