Photograph of Rupert Bunny taken circa 1884.

Rupert Charles Wulsten Bunny (1864-1947) was an Australian painter. He was born and raised in Melbourne where he had an affluent and privileged upbringing. During his childhood Rupert Bunny had an extended trip to Europe which lasted two years. He returned to Australia fluent in French and German.

In early 1881 he was enrolled into the University of Melbourne intending to study civil engineering. Instead he undertook his artistic training between 1881 and 1883 in Melbourne at the National Gallery School of Design. In 1884, at age 20, he moved to London to continue his artistic education. He moved to Paris for further training. He finished his artistic training in 1890.

He settled easily into Parisian society and its artistic circles and became well respected in Paris. For many years he travelled between Australia and Paris but eventually moved back permanently to Australia in 1933 after nearly 50 years of living abroad.

Poseidon and Amphitrite ~ c.1913 ~ Rupert Charles Wulsten Bunny (Australian artist, 1864-1937)

“Amphitrite was the goddess-queen of the sea, wife of Poseidon, and eldest of the fifty Nereides. She was the female personification of the sea--the loud-moaning mother of fish, seals and dolphins.

When Poseidon first sought Amphitrite's hand in marriage, she fled his advances, and hid herself away near Atlas in the Ocean stream at the far ends of the earth. The dolphin-god Delphin eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king.

Amphitrite was depicted in Greek vase painting as a young woman, often raising her hand in a pinching gesture. Sometimes she was shown holding a fish. In mosaic art the goddess usually rides beside her husband in a chariot drawn by fish-tailed horses or hippokampoi. Sometimes her hair is enclosed with a net and her brow adorned with a pair of crab-claw "horns".

Her name is probably derived from the Greek words amphis and tris, "the surrounding third." Her son Tritôn was similarly named "of the third." Clearly "the third" is the sea, although the reason for the term is obscure. Amphitrite was essentially the same as the primordial sea-goddess Thalassa. Her Roman equivalent was Salacia whose name means "the salty one."
