EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nymphs Dancing and Making Music by a Pool on a Wooded Hilltop with the Apulian Shepherd" transports us to a mythical world filled with enchantment and beauty. Painted by Daniel Vertangen in the 17th century, this oil on panel artwork measures 29.5x39.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The scene depicted here draws inspiration from Ovid's Metamorphoses, specifically showcasing an intriguing passage where an Apulian shepherd undergoes a transformation into an olive tree. The composition showcases lush greenery, rolling hills, and a serene pool where nymphs gracefully dance and create music. The image exudes tranquility as we witness these ethereal nymphs moving harmoniously amidst the picturesque landscape. Their flowing garments seem to blend seamlessly with the surrounding woods, creating an atmosphere of unity between nature and mythological beings. Vertangen's attention to detail brings life to each figure portrayed in this painting. The vibrant colors used for both the nymphs' attire and their surroundings further enhance the sense of magic within this piece. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of ancient Greek mythology's enduring allure. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with tales of gods, goddesses, shepherds, and mystical creatures that have captivated our imaginations throughout history.
