John Everett Millais’ “Cymon and Iphigenia” is a romantic and vividly detailed painting that illustrates a scene from the story written by Giovanni Boccaccio in “The Decameron.” The painting, completed in 1848, captures a key moment where Cymon, initially a brutish and unrefined man, is transformed by the sight of the beautiful Iphigenia. As she lies sleeping, her beauty awakens a new sensitivity and refinement in Cymon, which leads him to become a more noble and cultured person. Millais masterfully conveys this transformation through the serene and radiant depiction of Iphigenia, her delicate form and peaceful expression creating a stark contrast to the ruggedness of Cymon, who stands mesmerized by her beauty. The composition of the painting draws the viewer’s eye toward Iphigenia, who is bathed in soft light, suggesting her role as an agent of change in Cymon’s life. Millais’ use of rich colors, intricate textures, and precise detailing reflect the Pre-Raphaelite style, which aimed to bring a high level of realism and emotional depth to historical and literary themes. “Cymon and Iphigenia” is a powerful representation of how beauty and love can transform even the most uncultivated souls.
