The Enchantress, Arthur Wardle - a photo on Flickriver

            National Museum of Wildlife Art signage:
Arthur Wardle (British, 1864-1949) 
The Enchantress, 1901
Oil on canvas
This work was exhibited at the British Royal Academy in 1901, during the last year of Queen Victoria’s reign. One way to read this work is to think of it as an allegory of the power of the Empire, represented by the woman, over her colonies, represented by the leopards.
Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, set a trap with leopards to kill the next mortal across his path. An innocent woman fell into the trap and prayed to Artemis, goddess of hunting, to save her. Artemis changed her into a white stone When Dionysus saw what he had done, he cried tears of wine, dyeing the stone purple. The woman’s name was Amethystos and the stone is known as amethyst.
