EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite oil on panel painting from the early Renaissance period, Italian artist Giovanni Agostino da Lodi masterfully captures a tender moment between Pan, the Greek god of nature and music, and Syrinx, a nymph who has captivated his heart. The scene is set against a picturesque mountainous backdrop, with lush greenery and rocky outcroppings that seem to reverberate with the sweet sounds of their serenade.
As Pan plucks the strings of his syrinx (a panpipe instrument), Syrinx listens intently, her eyes shining with delight. Her gentle smile suggests a deep connection between them, one that transcends mortal boundaries and speaks to the eternal power of music as a language of love and passion.
This enchanting depiction is not only a testament to da Lodi's skillful brushwork but also an homage to Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Pan first falls in love with Syrinx. The painting has been preserved for centuries, now residing in the esteemed Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum collection.
In this serene and idyllic tableau, we are transported to a world of mythological beauty and timeless romance.
