About the piece
Painted around 1638 by Caesar van Everdingen, this oil on panel depicts the nymph Syrinx as she desperately flees the advances of Pan. The work showcases the artist's celebrated ability to render luminous skin tones and dynamic movement, set against the dark, textured backdrop of river reeds. It is a striking example of Dutch Classicism, characterized by its clear composition and refined execution.
