Satyr Spying on Sleeping Nymph, Antiope, 1645-1680 Creator: Toussaint Gelton (1600-1674) Description: This exquisite 17th-century oil painting by Toussaint Gelton captures the essence of Baroque art with its rich colors and intricate details. The scene depicts a mischievous satyr, a mythical beast from Greek mythology, spying on the sleeping nymph Antiope. The satyr, with his horns, pointed ears, and the body of a man from the waist up and a horse from the waist down, is a symbol of lust and desire. He is caught in the act of espionage, lying on his belly and peering at the reclining nymph, who is completely unaware of his presence. Antiope, a beautiful and graceful nymph, is depicted in a state of peaceful slumber, her naked body adorned only with a light covering, revealing her vulnerability. Surrounding her are cherubs, or putti, playfully frolicking in the air, adding an angelic touch to the painting. The painting is a testament to Gelton's mastery of the Baroque style, with its dramatic use of light and shadow, intricate details, and vivid colors. The painting is currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is a beloved piece of heritage art that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and intrigue. Location: Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark Date: 1645-1680
