About the piece

Created around 1910, Jean Francis Auburtin's 'Danse des nymphes' is a masterwork of the Symbolist movement, evoking a sense of ancient myth and timeless tranquility. The composition features the rhythmic, ethereal figures of dancing nymphs and a flute-playing satyr, all rendered in a harmoniously muted palette of twilight blues and soft greens that would lend a serene presence to any room.
