CYDIAS, Greek painter
of Cythnus, about 364 B.C.
His picture of the Argonauts
was bought for 144,000
sesterces by the orator
Hortensius, who had a
building erected for it on
his estate at Tusculum.
(Pliny, xxxv. 40 [130].)
This painting is supposed
to have been removed by
Agrippa to the Portico of
Neptune. (Di. Cass. L. iii. 27.) Cydias is
mentioned by Theophrastus (De Lap. 95) as
the discoverer of minium (red lead, or vermilion).
CYMON AND IPHIGENIA, Sir Frederic
Leighton, Fine Arts Society, London. Scene
from Boccaccio's Decameron, Novel I., Fifth
Day. Cymon, son of Aristippus, a gentleman
of wealth and rank in Cyprus, though excelling
in stature and comeliness, was almost
a natural fool, and could not be taught anything.
One day, in passing through a wood,
he discovered a most beautiful damsel
asleep, with two maids and a man-servant
also sleeping at her feet. At this sight love
pierced his heart, and led to such a change
in his character that in four years he became
the most accomplished gentleman in Cyprus,
and, after various adventures, wooed and
won Iphigenia for his wife. Royal Academy,
1884.—Art Journal (1884), 129.
By Sir Joshua Reynolds, Buckingham Palace, London; canvas, H. 4 ft. 7 in. × 5 ft. 7 in. Iphigenia, nearly nude, lies asleep on drapery in the wood; in background, Cymon, led by Cupid, leans upon a staff gazing upon her in wonder-stricken admiration. Painted in 1789. Presented to George IV. by the painter's niece, the Marchioness of Thomond. Engraved by S. W. Reynolds.—Waagen, Treasures, ii. 24.
