Pan and Syrinx, National Gallery, London, UK

3D ModelNoAI

1759, François Boucher

“This painting illustrates a story from Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’ (I, 793-820). The nymph Syrinx was pursued by the amorous Pan as far as the river Ladon, where she begged her sisters of the river, one of whom is shown reclining on an urn, to help her. Thinking that he had caught Syrinx, Pan clasped at her, but the river nymphs changed Syrinx into the reeds growing on the river bank, from which he later made his pipes. He rushes towards Syrinx in Boucher’s painting, urged on by the boy Cupid holding an arrow and a burning torch.” ~ https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/francois-boucher-pan-and-syrinx
