Woodland Scene with Pan and Three Graces

About the Item

At once fantastical and earthbound, this remarkable drawing depicts three seminude goddesses -- perhaps the Three Graces -- dancing to a tune provided by a nude Pan figure seated on the woodland floor. All four figures are depicted with a solidity that is reminiscent of symbolist painters like Fernand Khnopff. Gargiulo surrounds his figures with a shower of tree boughs and includes a sheep at the feet of Pan, but he lavishes his attention on the strength and sensuosity of the figures. Gargiulo, the artist, may have lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    By Paul Daxhelet
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Artists in both America and Europe were fascinated with mythological scenes and ancient tales in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, and increasingly gave their gods, goddesses and other figures a powerful physicality and sensuality. This drawing by the Belgian artist, Paul Daxhelet, is a stunning example. Here he depicts a nude male Pan figure...
