In the [[Renaissance]] and after, it was the story of Glaucus and Scylla that caught the imagination of painters across Europe. In [[Agostino Carracci]]'s 1597 fresco cycle of ''[[The Loves of the Gods]]'' in the [[Farnese Gallery]], the two are shown embracing, a conjunction that is not sanctioned by the myth.{{efn|[[:File:Glaucus and Scylla - Agostino Carracci - 1597 - Farnese Gallery, Rome.jpg|at Wikimedia]]}} More orthodox versions show the maiden scrambling away from the amorous arms of the god, as in the [[oil on copper]] painting by [[Filippo Lauri]]{{efn| [http://www.magnoliabox.com/art/391086/Glaucus_and_Scylla Magnoliabox] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140322014348/http://www.magnoliabox.com/art/391086/Glaucus_and_Scylla |date=2014-03-22 }} }} and the oil on canvas by [[Salvator Rosa]] in the [[Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen]].{{efn|View on the [http://www.reproarte.com/files/images/R/rosa_salvator/0492-0201_glaucus_and_scylla.jpg Reproarte site]; a [https://www.flickr.com/photos/renzodionigi/3624763164 preliminary drawing] in MFA Boston is dated 1661}}

Other painters picture them divided by their respective elements of land and water, as in the paintings of the Flemish [[Bartholomäus Spranger]] (1587), now in the [[Kunsthistorisches Museum]], Vienna.{{efn|Available in [[:File:Bartholomäus Spranger 006.jpg|at Wikimedia]]}} Some add the detail of [[Cupid]] aiming at the sea-god with his bow, as in the painting of [[Laurent de la Hyre]] (1640/4) in the [[J. Paul Getty Museum]]{{efn|View on the museum website<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/728/laurent-de-la-hyre-glaucus-and-scylla-french-about-1640-1644/| title = Glaucus and Scylla}}</ref>}} and that of [[Jacques Dumont le Romain]] (1726) at the [[Musée des beaux-arts de Troyes]].<ref>View on [https://www.flickr.com/photos/34326717@N03/3261056474/sizes/m Flickr]</ref> Two cupids can also be seen fluttering around the fleeing Scylla in the late painting of the scene by J. M. W. Turner (1841), now in the [[Kimbell Art Museum]].{{efn|There is a more conventional print from around 1810/15 in the [http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/turner-glaucus-and-scylla-a01150 Tate Gallery]}}

[[Peter Paul Rubens]] shows the moment when the horrified Scylla first begins to change, under the gaze of Glaucus ({{circa|1636}}),<ref>Musée Bonat, available in [[:nl:Bestand:Peter Paul Rubens - Scylla et Glaucus.JPG|at Wikimedia]]</ref> while [[Eglon van der Neer]]'s 1695 painting in the [[Rijksmuseum]] shows Circe poisoning the water as Scylla prepares to bathe.{{efn|View on [https://www.flickr.com/photos/renzodionigi/3623947737/sizes/o Flickr]}} There are also two [[Pre-Raphaelite]] treatments of the latter scene by [[John Melhuish Strudwick]] (1886)<ref>View on [[:File:John Melhuish Strudwick22.jpg|Wikimedia]]</ref> and [[John William Waterhouse]] (''[[Circe Invidiosa]]'', 1892).<ref>Available on the [http://www.johnwilliamwaterhouse.com/pictures/circe-invidiosa-1892 website] devoted to the artist</ref>
