About Artwork: (About 1647) "Taken from an episode in Ovid’s Metamorphosis, this painting shows the moment when Cephalus is horrified to find his wife Procris impaled and slumped against a tree, after he has accidentally killed her with his spear. He thought she was a wild animal – the deer fleeing over the horizon was his intended prey. Earlier in the story, Procris suspects Cephalus of infidelity and follows him to a forest and hides when she hears him approach. She had previously given him the spear and a magic dog that were a gift to her from Diana, goddess of the hunt. The withered tree covered in ivy – an emblem of love and fidelity – and shadowy landscape add to the sombre tone. The paint surface is very discoloured with extensive repainted areas, particularly in the figures. This composition is probably a copy of an original work by Claude painted around 1646." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
