Supplementary description by the museum (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Leighton’s nickname, Jupiter Olympus, reflected his passion for classical antiquity and his status as a titan of British art. This work, made near the end of his life, takes its title from the Latin word for "tears." Traditional emblems of mourning such as cypresses, a withered wreath, and a setting sun symbolize the woman’s grief. A review of the 1895 Royal Academy exhibition in London imagined her visiting the funerary monument of her war-hero fiancé. Leighton’s classicism is evident in the column and the statuesque, draped figure; in the ornamented vessels; and in the tabernacle frame, which evokes a temple doorway.
