Four Overdoor Paintings
I made these four overdoor paintings to ornate our Sims' house 😉
Hyacinth Changed into a Flower In the literary myth, Hyacinth was a beautiful youth and lover of the god Apollo, though he was also admired by the god West Wind (Zephyros). Apollo and Hyacinth took turns throwing the discus. Hyacinth ran to catch it to impress Apollo, was struck by the discus as it fell to the ground, and died. A twist in the tale makes the West Wind responsible for the death of Hyacinth. This painting was made by the French painter Nicolas-René Jollain, between 1768 and 1779. You could see it in the Petit Trianon, Versailles, France.
Clytia Changed into a Sunflower According to Greek mythology, Clytia, nymph daughter of Ocean, was abandoned by her lover, Helios, god of the Sun. For nine days, she sat on the ground, without food or water, watching the sun travel. It withered away and changed into a flower but continued to turn towards the star despite everything. This painting was made by the French painter Nicolas-René Jollain, in 1768. You could see it in the Petit Trianon, Versailles, France.
Adonis transformed by Venus into an Anemone In Greek mythology, Adonis, of great beauty, was one of Aphrodite's lovers. During a hunt, Adonis was mortally wounded by a wild boar and from his blood spilled on the ground new flowers were born. This painting was made by the French painter Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié in 1768. You could see it in the Petit Trianon, Versailles, France.
Narcissus Changed into the Flower of that Name In Greek mythology, Narcissus, a young man of great beauty, rejected with disdain the advances of the Nymphs. One of them implored the sky so that Narcissus, in turn, loves without being able to be loved. Nemesis, goddess of vengeance and divine punishment, granted this wish and Narcissus, who saw his reflection on the water of a spring, fell desperately in love with it. Unable to take his eyes off him, he wasted away after several days. At the place of his missing body the Nymphs found only a golden flower crowned with alabaster leaves. This painting was made by the French painter Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié in 1768. You could see it in the Petit Trianon, Versailles, France.
