History

Pygmalion and Galatea by Ernest Normand (English artist, 1857–1923). Atkinson Art Gallery. Galatea had professed his disdain of all females, but fell deeply in love with the statue he was working on. His love was so great that Aphrodite took pity and breathed life into Galatea. pic.twitter.com/h69iJ2wCcS
