Daphnis achtervolgt Chloë 1937

"Daphnis achtervolgt Chloë" (Daphnis Chases Chloe) is a 1937 woodcut by the French sculptor Aristide Maillol. The artwork depicts a scene from the ancient Greek pastoral romance *Daphnis and Chloe*, where Daphnis, a shepherd, chases Chloe, a shepherdess, across the fields. Maillol's style, characterized by simplified lines and rounded forms, lends a timeless quality to the composition. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Maillol's mastery of both sculpture and printmaking, showcasing his distinctive aesthetic that draws inspiration from classical antiquity.
