Fields Elysian, c. 1906 - A Captivating Glimpse into Mythical Paradise
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting print captures Cecil William Rea's masterpiece, "Fields Elysian" painted in 1906. The oil on canvas painting measures 112.2x87 cm and is currently housed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. Rea's work transports us to a realm of beauty and tranquility, inspired by Greek mythology. In this idyllic garden scene, we witness a group of young girls surrounded by an abundance of vibrant flowers. Their ethereal presence evokes a sense of innocence and purity. The concept behind "Fields Elysian" stems from the mythological belief that these fields were the final resting place for heroic souls after death—a paradise known as Elysium. Rea skillfully brings this mythical afterlife to life through his masterful brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. As we gaze upon this artwork, it becomes evident that Rea was not only skilled in capturing natural beauty but also possessed a deep understanding of classical mythology. Through his interpretation, he invites viewers to contemplate the notion of eternal bliss and reflect on their own perceptions of paradise. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Rea's talent as an artist and his ability to transport us beyond our earthly existence into an otherworldly realm filled with serenity and grace.
