About the piece

Painted in 1886, this masterful work by Edward Burne-Jones exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist movements. The composition features a youthful, pipe-playing Pan perched on a rocky outcrop, while a couple listens intently amidst a soft, rolling landscape of greens and earth tones that creates a serene, otherworldly atmosphere.
