About the artwork

GALATEIA (Galatea) was one of the fifty Nereides and the goddess of calm seas.

She visited the coast of Sicily and there attracted the attention of the Kyklops (Cyclops) Polyphemos. The giant drew her out with tunes from his rustic pipes and offerings of milk and cheese. But the nymph rejected his advances and instead consorted with a handsome Sicilian boy named Akis (Acis). Polyphemos became jealous and crushed the boy under a rock. Galateia was sad and turned Akis into a stream. According to some, Galateia was the mother of Polyphemos of Galatos, the eponymous king of Galatia in Anatolia.

Galateia was depicted in ancient art as a beautiful woman riding a side-saddle on the back of a sea monster or a god with a fish tail.

Her name means either "goddess of calm seas" from galênê and theia or "milk white" from galaktos.

Friedrich Preller the Younger (September 1, 1838 in Weimar, Thuringia, Germany; October 21, 1901 in Blasewitz near Dresden, Saxony) was a German landscape painter.
