Pan en Syrinx 1733

Bernard Picart's 1733 etching *Pan en Syrinx* depicts the mythical Greek god Pan pursuing the nymph Syrinx. Pan, with his goat legs and horns, grasps at Syrinx as she escapes into the reeds. The intricate border frames this dramatic scene, adding an extra layer of artistic detail to Picart's engraving. This piece, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the artist's skill in capturing both the classical mythology and the beauty of nature. *Pan en Syrinx* is a fine example of an 18th-century engraving, appealing to art lovers and those interested in Greek mythology and art history.
