About the piece
Created in 1866, this evocative work by Hippolyte Boulenger depicts a group of nymphs dancing in a deep, mysterious forest. As a leading member of the Tervuren School, Boulenger emphasizes mood and atmosphere over sharp detail, using rich earth tones and fluid brushwork to blend classical mythology with the raw beauty of the natural world.
