John William Waterhouse Hylas and the Nymphs
Date of Creation:1896Height (cm):132.10Length (cm):197.50Medium:Oil

As with many of the romantic artists Waterhouse has taken inspiration from classical tales of love and tragedy, in this case the tale of Hylas and the Nymphs. Although this story is a rather small part of the legend of Jason and the Argonauts and their search for the Golden Fleece it is nevertheless one of Waterhouse's most accomplished pieces. The artist never left any indication of why he chose this subject, although the natural setting, the nymphs and the women with mystery and power, are similar themes to those which appear in Waterhouse's other works and are obviously something which appealed to him.

Greek Mythology:
Taken from the story of Jason and the Argonauts, Hylas was an Argonaut warrior and the assistant and lover of Herlkas. He was also known to be a very handsome youth.

When Jason's boat landed on an island during his search for the Golden Fleece, Hylas was sent to fetch water for the camp. Finding a pool in a clearing, he reached down and put his pitcher into the water. Before he could lift his pitcher he looked up to discover water nymphs encircling him. Drawn by his beauty, one of the nymphs reached up to kiss Hylas.

The tale stops there and Hylas disappeared without trace from that moment, it was said that Herlkas searched the island for his beloved, in fact such a time passed that the boat left without him.

Adrian Gottlieb is an internationally distinguished artist who began painting commissioned works at an extraordinarily early age. His broad fine arts education includes a degree in Illustration from Rochester Institute of Technology. He studied each summer at Charles Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy while still an undergraduate, and then immediately enrolled at The Florence Academy of Art in Florence to complete three years of intensive training in drawing and classic painting. Viewing Gottlieb’s paintings in person, one is immediately struck by the painterly quality of his work.

About Cristobal Sanchez-Lopez

I was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1966. Early in my childhood, I used the white walls of my parent’s house as a big canvas and being white it gave me the opportunity to personalize them. Noticing an interest on the arts and weary of seeing me drawing everywhere, my parents decided to send me to children’s art school at age 8. There I started to do my first oils on canvas and learned different techniques, making my first art sales to neighbors and relatives.

After graduating from high school I continued my studies of the beaux arts at Pau Gargallo University in Barcelona for 9 years where I was awarded two BA degrees in Graphic Design and in Artistic Illustration and Painting. During this period I learned to be comfortable with different techniques while consecutively studying Photography and Set Design for television and stage, dedicating the time between painting and graphic design. Subsequently I had my first exhibitions at several galleries in Barcelona. During the 1992 Olympic Games I participated in the preparation of graphic designs for the Olympic Ceremonies in the same city.

With my cultural background and my exposure to the works of the European masters I have channeled my expressions through my preferred means of artistic expression such as oil, pastel, watercolor and acrylic. During the last decade, my work has been exhibited in numerous galleries in Europe and Us


Fascinated for years of classical art and illustration studies I play easily and comfortably with the male form in a variety of techniques: acrylic, watercolor, charcoal and digital. I “speak” every technique like a different language the laws of light and shadow with a contemporary reminiscence of the old masters.

Cesar Santos
The most challenging aspect of my creation is to establish a dual system of communication, a dialog in which form and color are equal participants, united by the eye of the active viewer. In a suggestive and theatrical way I seek to raise questions, to entice one to probe the imagery that I present and attempt to decipher it's meaning.
