Nymphs and Satyr in front of a Temple 1591 - 1639

"Nymphs and Satyr in front of a Temple" is an oil painting on panel by Roelant Savery, a Dutch artist active in the early 17th century. Dated between 1591 and 1639, the artwork depicts a group of nymphs interacting with a satyr in a lush landscape. The setting includes a partially ruined temple, a symbol of classical antiquity and a popular motif in Savery's works, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and dense foliage. This piece exemplifies Savery's characteristic use of vibrant colors and detailed brushwork, contributing to the idyllic and harmonious atmosphere of this small-scale masterpiece. The work is currently part of the Statens Museum for Kunst's collection.
