"Ceyx et Alcyone" is a renowned painting by the French artist Carle van Loo (1705–1765), created in 1759. This work is a masterful representation of the tragic story of Ceyx and Alcyone, which is derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The narrative revolves around the ill-fated love of Ceyx, the King of Trachis, and his wife Alcyone. Ceyx perishes in a shipwreck, and Alcyone, upon discovering his fate, is transformed into a bird by the gods, allowing her to join her husband in death. Van Loo's interpretation of this mythological tale is celebrated for its emotional depth and technical prowess, showcasing his skill in composition, color, and the depiction of human emotion.

Carle van Loo, a leading figure of the French Rococo movement, was known for his versatility, excelling in historical and mythological subjects, portraits, and decorative works. "Ceyx et Alcyone" stands out as one of his most poignant mythological scenes, encapsulating the themes of love, loss, and transformation that are central to the original story. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, the delicate rendering of textures, and the expressive poses and gazes of its figures, all of which serve to heighten the emotional impact of the scene.

This work not only exemplifies Van Loo's mastery over the Rococo style but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic interests of the 18th century, particularly the fascination with classical antiquity and the exploration of human emotions through mythological narratives. "Ceyx et Alcyone" remains a significant contribution to the history of European art, admired for its artistic beauty and its evocative portrayal of one of mythology's most tragic love stories.
