About the piece

In this masterful work by Michel Dorigny, the classical myth of Pan and Syrinx is brought to life with the dramatic energy of the French Baroque. The composition is anchored by the striking, luminous blue of the figures' drapery, set against a rich, atmospheric background of reeds and riverbanks. Dorigny’s confident brushwork and sophisticated arrangement of figures create a sense of movement and depth that commands attention.
