Attributed to a follower of Paolo Veronese (late 16th century)
Museum-quality digital canvas print
The forest holds its breath. Procris lies collapsed among the leaves, her body folded with finality, the javelin still embedded in her side. Her eyes do not rage—they reach, still fixed on Cephalus as he rushes forward, too late. In Procris Pierced by Cephalus’ Javelin, myth becomes heartbreak, rendered not with violence, but with unbearable quiet.
This is the tragic end of a story painted across seven panels: suspicion, distance, prayer, the hunt. And here, the moment of recognition. He thought she was an animal in the thicket. She had come to find him, to forgive. What began as love ends in misjudgment—and mourning.
Attributed to a follower of Paolo Veronese, this late 16th-century Venetian painting carries the weight of theatre and theology. The colors are deep, shadowed. Procris is painted with tenderness—her garments slipping like breath, her skin pale against the forest floor. Cephalus is caught in motion, one foot forward, one hand raised, unable to reverse what has been done.
This museum-quality digital canvas print preserves every gesture, every shiver of fabric and grief. Perfect for interiors that hold space for narrative, emotion, and the complex truths of classical mythology.
At Gatekeepers.la, we bring light to the moments that broke history’s heart. Procris Pierced by Cephalus’ Javelin is not just an ending—it is the cost of misunderstanding, told through myth, brush, and silence.
