About the work

Arthur Hughes (1832-1915) found the subject for this painting in the poem Endymion by John Keats (1795-1821). Endymion, published in 1818, was based on the story told by the classical Greek writer Lucian. However, Keats added many episodes to the story, such as the one depicted in this watercolour, in which Endymion shoots a hind.
