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.
