Sabrina en de nimfen 1849

"Sabrina en de nimfen" (1849) by Peter Lightfoot (1805-1885) depicts a group of nymphs surrounding Sabrina, a figure in white robes, likely referencing the Welsh myth of Sabrina, the daughter of a king who drowned in the River Severn and was transformed into a river goddess. The artwork's use of light and shadow emphasizes the nymphs' ethereal forms and their connection to the water, highlighting Lightfoot's mastery of Neoclassical style and his focus on mythological themes. The composition's dynamic pose, with figures intertwining, creates a sense of movement and energy within the scene.
