Abstract

AbstractCyrene is the tide of an oil on canvas by Edward Calvert (1799–1883), an English artist of the Victorian age, who was a follower of William Blake and member of the group the ʿAncientsʾ. The figure of Cyrene reproduces the Aphrodite statue (sc. Figure M) from the East Pediment of the Athenian Parthenon; probably Calvert studied the marble sculpture in the ʿTemporary Elgin Roomʾ of the British Museum, when he was a student at the Drawing and Life school of the Royal Academy. The painting is difficult to date, but the hairstyle of Cyrene could pertain to the 1830s or 1840s. The unusual subject could be influenced by the first English expeditions in North Africa.
