Pan and Syrinx 1780 - 1831

Giuseppe Longhi's "Pan and Syrinx" is a black and white print depicting the Greek myth of the god Pan pursuing the nymph Syrinx. Pan, a half-goat deity, carries Syrinx in his arms while a figure of Pan, seated by a stream, witnesses the scene. This 18th-century print is an example of Neoclassical art, a style that emphasized Greek and Roman themes. It is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
