About the piece

Painted in 1722 by Jean-François de Troy, this vibrant Rococo work illustrates the Ovidian myth of Pan and Syrinx. The composition is alive with movement, featuring the satyr Pan reaching toward the escaping nymph, while other river deities look on from the shadows. Typical of the period, the piece displays luminous flesh tones, fluid brushwork, and a lush, atmospheric landscape that balances drama with decorative elegance.
