Jonge faunen in het Museo Capitolino te Rome 1780

"Jonge faunen in het Museo Capitolino te Rome" is a 1780 drawing by Jean Grandjean, a French artist who sadly died in 1781 at the young age of 29. This drawing, measuring 500 mm in height and 380 mm in width, depicts two young fauns, mythical creatures associated with the Roman god Pan, playing flutes. The drawing is rendered in a realistic style, capturing the intricate details of the fauns' anatomy and the delicate instruments they play. Grandjean’s mastery of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, making the fauns appear almost three-dimensional. This drawing is a testament to the artist's talent and his ability to capture the beauty and grace of classical mythology in a realistic and engaging manner.
