Rocky Landscape with Pan Playing His Flute (In the Park of the Villa Chigi, Ariccia) 1808

Johann Christian Reinhart's "Rocky Landscape with Pan Playing His Flute (In the Park of the Villa Chigi, Ariccia)" is a detailed pen and ink drawing, executed in 1808, depicting a peaceful woodland scene. The work is a landscape with figures, a genre popularized by 18th-century artists. The depiction of Pan, the Greek god of the wild, playing his flute amidst the rocky landscape, evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The detailed rendering of the foliage and the careful attention to light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism. This drawing is currently housed in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
