About the piece

This masterwork is a celebrated collaboration between Peter Paul Rubens, who painted the dynamic figures, and Jan Brueghel the Elder, who rendered the exquisitely detailed landscape. Depicting the Ovidian myth of Pan pursuing the nymph Syrinx, the piece is a stunning example of 17th-century Flemish artistry, balancing raw physical movement with meticulous naturalism in the surrounding marshland flora and fauna.
