The Elysian Fields (Dancing nymphs) 1890

"The Elysian Fields (Dancing Nymphs)" by Hans Thoma, painted in 1890, depicts a scene of idyllic peace and harmony. In the foreground, two nude figures sit beside a pond, one playing a flute while the other contemplates the scene. The background is filled with a group of dancing nymphs and swans swimming in the pond, all bathed in a warm golden light. The overall effect is one of serenity and beauty, capturing the essence of the Elysian Fields, a paradise in Greek mythology. The work is currently on display at the Städel Museum.
