The Mythology Collection
Greek Mythology Paintings
Recreated by Hand
For two thousand years painters have retold the Greek myths: gods who fall in love with mortals, heroes who fight monsters, boys who fly too close to the sun and girls who turn into trees. This collection gathers famous Greek mythology paintings by Botticelli, Titian, Rubens, Waterhouse, Rossetti, Gustave Moreau, Bruegel and Poussin, from Venus rising from the sea to Prometheus in chains. Every painting is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction on real canvas.

01
Gods and Goddesses
The Olympians as painters imagined them: Venus born from the sea, Proserpine holding the fatal pomegranate, Pandora with her box, Bacchus finding Ariadne on Naxos, and Saturn devouring his children.
02
Heroes and Monsters
Perseus frees Andromeda from the sea monster, Hercules faces the Hydra, Achilles learns from the centaur Chiron, and Icarus falls into the sea while nobody notices.
03
Love and Transformation
In Ovid's Metamorphoses, love changes everything, literally. Daphne becomes a laurel tree to escape Apollo, Narcissus becomes a flower, Jupiter arrives as a swan, a bull or a shower of gold, and a sculptor's statue comes to life.
04
The Anger of the Gods
The gods punished pride without mercy. Prometheus stole fire and was chained to a rock; Medusa's gaze turned men to stone; Europa and Proserpine were carried off by gods who wanted them.

Choosing a Mythology Painting
A single god or goddess, or a dramatic scene with heroes and monsters: choose the myth that speaks to you.
I.
Painted by hand
A trained painter rebuilds the image in oils, with visible brushwork, layered colour and the small details that make the original come alive. These are not canvas prints.
II.
The whole painting, never cropped
Every reproduction keeps the full composition at its true proportions. Choose a size that suits your wall and the painting is scaled, never cut or stretched.
III.
Size, framing and delivery
Select a size and presentation on the artwork page, or contact ByMuseum for a custom dimension. Every reproduction includes free worldwide shipping.
FAQ
Questions About Greek Mythology Paintings
Useful answers before you choose a hand-painted reproduction.

Botticelli's The Birth of Venus is the most famous, followed by Bruegel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, Titian's mythological paintings and Waterhouse's Echo and Narcissus.

Where do the stories in these paintings come from?
Mostly from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Hesiod, and above all Ovid's Metamorphoses, the Roman poem that collected hundreds of Greek myths.
03.
Why do some paintings use Roman names?
Many painters read the myths in Latin, so Zeus appears as Jupiter, Aphrodite as Venus and Eros as Cupid.

Are these paintings prints?
No. Every ByMuseum reproduction is painted by hand in oil on canvas, with real brushwork and texture.
