Talk:Pygmalion (mythology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pygmalion is also a excellent film relesed in 1938, similar to my fair lady, but not a musical. I will add info at a later time, I was just looking this up before going to bed, and I do not have the time at this moment.Drn8 05:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Since the article mentions horror films and other stories about giving life to dead objects, how about Frankenstein?--FrickFrack 16:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

It should also be mentioned that the painter Franz von stuck was responsible for my personal favourite painting of pygmalion, not as detailed but he really captures the essence of longing.

[edit] Another Gerome version

In addition to the painting shown in the article, Gerome did a second, more restrained version, with precisely the same scene but with point-of-view behind Galatea. Citation:
