It illustrates a story from Metamorphoses, the epic poem by the Roman poet Ovid. The wood nymph Syrinx is chased by the god Pan to the river Ladon, where she begs one of the river nymphs to disguise her by changing her shape. The river nymph, with her back towards us, obliges by transforming Syrinx into reeds.\n\nBoucher uses fluid brushstrokes to create a surface that has an almost jewel-like brilliance. The blues and greens complement the fleshy pinks of the women, who seem to glow against their dark surroundings. The painting’s mix of hedonism, overt eroticism and ambiguous sexuality may have particularly appealed to the libertine tastes of the royal court before the arrival of a more moralising tone in both art and art criticism in the 1760s.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/francois-boucher-pan-and-syrinx\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Pan and Syrinx\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"François Boucher","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509559660787,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (12 3\/4\" x 16 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509559693555,"sku":null,"price":463.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 3\/4\" x 20 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509559726323,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19 1\/4\" x 24 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509559759091,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (23 5\/8\" x 30 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509559791859,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (30 1\/2\" x 39 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509559824627,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (36 1\/2\" x 47 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509559857395,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (43 1\/8\" x 55 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509559890163,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (51 5\/8\" x 67\")","offer_id":50509559922931,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/PanandSyrinx.jpg?v=1788779917","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/pan-and-syrinx-ngal531","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
