Daphnis en Chloë samen liggend 1937

"Daphnis en Chloë samen liggend" is a 1937 woodcut by Aristide Maillol, a celebrated French sculptor and printmaker. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simplified yet evocative image of two figures, Daphnis and Chloë, intertwined in a passionate embrace. Maillol's signature style of simplified forms and bold outlines is evident in the composition, which evokes a sense of intimacy and tranquility. The use of black and white enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, creating a visually striking and emotionally resonant piece.
