Satyr’s family 1886

"Satyr’s Family" (1886) by Hans Thoma depicts a satyr family in a forest setting. The father, with goat-like features, is seated in the foreground, while the mother, clad in a blue garment, cradles a baby satyr with goat legs. A young goat is also present, adding to the mythical atmosphere of the scene. The painting draws on classical mythology and symbolizes the harmony between nature and the human spirit. Thoma, a prominent German artist, was known for his allegorical paintings, often depicting scenes of mythology and nature.
