{"product_id":"cephalus-and-procris-godfried-schalcken","title":"Cephalus and Procris - Godfried Schalcken","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCephalus and Procris\u003c\/b\u003e by Godfried Schalcken, painted in the 1680s, is a compelling example of Dutch Baroque art at its most intimate and dramatic. Schalcken was celebrated for his mastery of candlelight and nocturnal scenes, a technique rooted in the tradition of Caravaggism that swept through Northern European studios in the seventeenth century. Here, he draws upon the tragic myth from Ovid's \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e, in which the hunter Cephalus accidentally slays his devoted wife Procris with a magic javelin — a story rich with themes of jealousy, fate, and irreversible loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchalcken renders the figures with extraordinary sensitivity, using warm, raking light to sculpt flesh and fabric against a shadowed ground, heightening the emotional weight of the mythological narrative. The work belongs to the collection of \u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e, where it stands as testimony to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with classical themes recast in deeply human terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cb\u003emuseum-quality stretched canvas reproduction\u003c\/b\u003e faithfully captures every nuance of Schalcken's luminous technique. Printed on premium matte canvas and hand-wrapped around a solid 0.75-inch wooden frame with a secure gallery wrap finish, it arrives ready to display — bringing the gravitas of a great European painting into your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:24px;font-size:14px\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGodfried Schalcken\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eprobably 1680s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOil on canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 1\/2 x 31 3\/8 in.
