Favorite art of polygyny for Whites? On searching for a banner suggestion for this group, ran into mine, which I’d of course seen many times before but forgotten about: Hylas and the Nymphs (1896), by John William Waterhouse. Beautiful, sensuous and lusty without being lewd. https://www.artrenewal.org/artworks/hylas-and-the-nymphs/john-william-waterhouse/772 I really like this stained glass version, painted by Bill Campbell of Century Studios. The medium reifies and idealizes the subject, highlighting the spiritual aspects of polygynous romance. https://centurystudios.com/window-week-hylas-nymphs/ Since monogamy has been the rule in Europe and its diaspora since centuries before modern realist painting began to flourish with the Renaissance, most of the depictions of plural marriage by great Western artists have been of the Middle Eastern harem—as if there had never been, or would be in the future, harems by Whites, for Whites. Thankfully, there is this gorgeous depiction of a scene from Greek mythology, where Hylas goes to get some fresh water, but ends up lured in by some nymphs, who according to one version make him their husband! Off message? I understand that these delightful nymphs are actually femmes fatales, about to pull Hylas off course from his life. But then again, I think it’s a potent reminder that, protestations aside, when women find a desirable enough man, and realize he’s plurally available, they’ll be ever so eager to flock around and make him theirs! And I think we can see several character types among the nymphs, that some women can identify with. The ginger behind Hylas looks a tinge put-off and jealous: “Oh, I can’t have him all to myself?” The brunette and ginger reaching out to Hylas, and the brunette with cupped hands, seems so eager to be with him, that they aren’t worried about those around them. I love the ready-to-go but insecure redhead trying to fix her hair at the last minute, and behind her, the distant brunette and redhead, one hiding behind lily pads, the other looking longingly at the bolder women; both are too shy to get closer, and could use some encouragement. Thus, we have many female personality types who might be curious about polygyny covered. As for Hylas, he shows interest without losing composure, a good sign of inner strength. Protip, from what I have read, baths and pools have been glorious spots for spousal activities from time immemorial, but be sure the water is clean. If there are lily pads growing, relocate to a running stream or a chlorinated pool. After admiring this work inspired by Waterhouse, here‘s a nice post with many of his best works from the pro-White site, Regenade Tribune. https://archive.ph/3iCvP #JohnWilliamWaterhouse #HylasAndTheNymphs #nymphs #naiads #Whites #ProWhite #GreekMyths #mythology #paganism #pagan #pluralmarriage #polygyny #polygamy #harem #harems #eros #romance #love #femmefatale #stainedglass #painting #art
