Dryads 1966

"Dryads" (1966) by Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux depicts a dreamlike scene of nude figures in a fantastical landscape. The women, reminiscent of Greek nymphs, stand amidst a backdrop of a city, their bodies rendered in a stylized and ethereal manner. Delvaux's signature use of soft lighting and muted colors creates an atmosphere of both mystery and sensuality. The painting embodies the artist's fascination with the feminine form and the exploration of subconscious desires.
