艺术家：约翰·吉布森

年代：1837

风格：新古典主义

类型：雕塑

在这个雕塑中，男孩所持的水壶上的希腊碑文可以译为“美丽的海拉斯”。在希腊文学中，许拉斯是英雄赫拉克勒斯（HelCules）的年轻伴侣。当他从泉水里取水的时候，水仙，或叫奈阿德，被他的美貌迷住了，把他拉到水里，这样他就可以和他们一起生活了。吉布森表现了海拉斯被两个水仙抓住，她的风格和组成强烈地唤起了卡诺娃的作品，吉布森非常钦佩卡诺娃。

Title:Hylas Surprised by the Naiades

artist:John Gibson

Date:1837

Style:Neoclassicism

Genre:sculpture

The Greek inscription on the pitcher held by the boy in this sculpture can be translated as ‘beautiful Hylas’. In Greek literature, Hylas was the youthful companion of the hero Heracles (Hercules). As he was fetching water from a spring, the water nymphs, or Naiads, were captivated by his beauty and pulled him into the water, so that he could always live with them. Gibson shows Hylas being seized by two water nymphs; the style and composition strongly recall the work of Canova, whom Gibson greatly admired.
