The thought that you exist is so divinely blissful in itself that it is ridiculous to talk about the everyday sadness of separation – a week’s, ten days’ – what does it matter? since my whole life belongs to you.

“Death of Hyacinthus”

Out of jealousy, the west wind Zephyrus causes Apollo’s discus to strike Hyacinthus and kill him. Apollo creates hyacinths from the prince’s blood so that his soul lives on through the flowers.

For composition & characters, I took inspiration from Tiepolo’s “Death of Hyacinthus” and Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus.”
