Daphnis achtervolgt Chloë 1937

This 1937 woodcut by Aristide Maillol depicts the Greek myth of Daphnis and Chloe. The print features two nude figures, a woman with flowing hair reaching out to touch a man's head. The simplified lines and dark background highlight the figures, emphasizing the story of a shepherdess and a shepherd who fall in love and are ultimately reunited after a series of trials. This artwork is an example of Maillol's fascination with classical mythology and the human form, which he frequently incorporated into his sculptures and prints.
