Description: | The nymph Clytie is shown wandering through an idyllic landscape after falling in love with the sun god Apollo, as told in an ancient myth. According to the story, Apollo then turned her into a sunflower - which moves its head to face the sun. Lush blue-green plains extend far into the distance, where gigantic mountains rise into the sky. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1814 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Martin | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
