EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and ethereal painting by Arnold Bocklin, created in 1855. This mesmerizing artwork, found in the esteemed Thyssen-Bornemisza Collections, transports viewers into a fantastical world of Roman mythology and symbolism. The scene depicts Pan, the god of free nature and patron of peasants and shepherds, pursuing a nymph amidst lush greenery. The young woman's delicate form stands out against the vibrant backdrop as she flees from Pan's advances. Bocklin masterfully captures her vulnerability and grace through his use of pastel on paper. The painting also features other mythical beings such as nereids and fauns, adding to its enchanting atmosphere. Symbolizing fertility and sensuality, these figures enhance the narrative with their presence. Bocklin's attention to detail brings this fantasy world to life; every leaf seems to rustle with anticipation as Pan relentlessly pursues his quarry. The composition exudes an allegorical quality that intertwines Greek mythology with literature. This print is not only a celebration of fine art but also an exploration of ancient tales that continue to captivate our imagination today. With its exquisite portrayal of nudity intertwined with mythological elements, "A Nymph at the Fountain" invites us into a realm where gods mingle with mortals—a testament to Bocklin's artistic prowess and ability to transport us beyond reality.
