"Nymphs Surprised by Satyrs" is an anonymous Baroque painting depicting a scene of playful chaos. Created between 1656 and 1711, the work features a group of nymphs caught off guard by satyrs, who playfully attack them with sticks and attempt to uncover their drapery. The dramatic composition, vibrant use of light, and the focus on the female form are hallmarks of the Baroque style, which emphasizes theatricality and emotion. The painting is now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
