Nymphs and Satyr is a large oil painting, on canvas by artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1873.

Nymphs and Satyr were displayed in Paris at the 1873 Salon, which opened on 5 May, a year before the Impressionists mounted their first exhibition. It was shown along with a verse from the ancient Roman poet, Publius Statius: “Conscious of his shaggy hide and from childhood untaught to swim, he dares not trust himself to deep waters.

In the painting "a group of nymphs has been surprised, while bathing in a private pond, by a lascivious satyr. Some of the nymphs have retreated into the shadows on the right; others, braver than their friends, are trying to dampen the satyr's ardor by pulling him into the cold water one of the satyr's feet is already wet and he clearly does not want to go further. Bouguereau’s working methods were traditional; he made a number of sketches and drawings of carefully posed human figures in complex poses, linking them together in this wonderfully rhythmical work of art.

Reproduction of oil painting is very expensive and a time taking process. The completed painting requires at least a week for drying completely. After that, we apply two layers of protective coating to secure the painting from dust and mold. Only completely dried painting can apply a coating or the painting will be damaged. The process of painting may take more than 4 weeks to 6 weeks based on the size and complexity.

For stretching, We will add a 1.6" additional white canvas border on all four sides for stretching purposes. We do not provide stretched canvas due to several issues. We cannot take the risk of damage while shipping. Also, there are size limitations for sending framed canvas. Shipping a large-sized stretched canvas might cost more than a painting itself. So we suggest you find a nearby local shop for the framing process.

After showing the final result to the customer for approval and after painting dried and ready for shopping. we will send you the painting in a fine hard plastic tube. You will receive a courier tracking number by e-mail.
