About the piece
Painted in 1858 by Arnold Böcklin, this atmospheric work depicts the Greek god Pan seated in a dense marsh. The composition is defined by deep, earthy tones and a masterful rendering of natural textures, from the sharp blades of the reeds to the soft, diffused light of a grey sky. It exemplifies the artist's unique ability to blend mythology with a tangible, visceral sense of the natural world, making it a quintessential piece of European Symbolism.
