This picture shows us the ideal, which throughout his life was sung by the artist. This is a romantic refinement, symbolism, detachment, feminine sensuality and at the same time restraint of emotions.
For the painting of this artist is characterized by a special type of female beauty, inspired by a heightened interest in the world of sorceresses and witches. To create female images, he chose models with pale skin, reddish-golden hair and dreary look. In this picture the nymphs surrounded Hilas, one of which sadly looks at him, dragging him into the depths of the lake.
This impression of the picture that smells like spring and the first rain. The picture creates an atmosphere of rainbow expectation of something beautiful.
In the landscape you can feel the noise and murmur of waterfalls, the coolness. Very interesting manner of painting and technology. Very thinly transmitted shadows, perfectly worked out the finest details.
A striking combination of painting, poetry, music. Looking at the pictures, you hear the music of Haydn, Mozart, Bach, the poems of Lermontov, Byron.
