EDITORS COMMENTS
Pan Pursuing Syrinx," a captivating engraving published by Hendrik Goltzius in 1589, showcases a mesmerizing scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses, specifically from book 1, plate 18. The Dutch artist masterfully depicts the mythological tale of Pan, the god of nature and shepherds, and Syrinx, a beautiful nymph. Pan, represented as a robust and lustful figure with horns and goat legs, is shown relentlessly pursuing Syrinx, who is transforming into a collection of reeds at the waterside. According to the myth, Syrinx was a nymph who spurned Pan's advances. In retaliation, Pan used his magical powers to turn her into a reed bed, leaving only her voice behind. The engraving captures the essence of the scene, with Pan's determined expression and Syrinx's graceful transformation. The image is a testament to Goltzius' exceptional skill in chasing, a printing technique that allowed him to create intricate details and textures. This engraving is a significant piece of European art from the 16th century, reflecting the Renaissance fascination with Greek and Roman mythology. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today. The Metamorphoses by Ovid, a seminal work in Western literature, serves as the foundation for this image. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the intricacies of Goltzius' artistry and the enduring allure of Greek mythology.
