Nausicaa is a stunning portrait painting by the 19th-century artist Lord Frederic Leighton. The original artwork was painted in 1878. Frederic Leighton was one of the most prominent British painters of his time. Unfortunately, with the change in Art History’s perception through the development of Modernism, Leighton’s Academicism became harshly criticized and forgotten until recently, when Victorian Art began to be acknowledged once again during the 1970s. Nausicaa is a flawless portrait that perfectly exemplifies the virtuosic aspect of the artist’s works.
Nausicaa was painted on a long vertical canvas. Nausicaa, belonging to the genre of Mythological subjects, which Leighton vastly explored, is originally a character from Homer’s Odyssey. Nausicaa was one of the few characters that Odysseus finds before returning to his home, Ithaca. His ship was wrecked, and he was pushed to the island’s shore by the sea. There, he is found by Nausicaa, the king’s daughter, along with her handmaidens. They all ran away because Odysseus was nude, but she stayed and helped give him by giving advice on how to earn her parents’ trust. With this, her father offers Odysseus ships to return home. In some versions of the story, it is implied that Nausicaa later marries Telemachus, Odysseus’s son.
In this flawlessly painted work, Leighton presents Nausicaa in a subdued and simple setting that doesn’t indicate the image’s mythological content other than its title. In this sense, without knowing the painting’s name, the audience can interpret the figure as any maiden or woman presented realistically. Leighton was considered one of the most virtuous Academic painters from the Victorian Era, an age that was fascinated with Antiquity, and many artists focused both on decorative works and paintings inspired by Greco-Roman imagery. This allowed them to explore ideas of beauty as well, the most championed aesthetic value by these painters.
Leighton explores the vertical canvas to show an elongated female figure. The palette is very subdued and neutral, with a slightly warm tint. As in many of the artist’s depictions, the mythological or even Christian themes are always presented through European standards of beauty. Nausicaa has brown hair, and she shyly holds one hand near her mouth. She seems to be watching something that is happening outside the composition, making this a captivating artwork.
