A satyr watching a sleeping nymph (Jupiter in the form of a satyr with Antiope),
oil on copper, 49 x 39 cm, framed
Provenance:
private collection, Munich.
Walther Bernt writes on Wouters, “The landscape gains in prestige in his work and exhibits a particular sense of balance. The luscious foliage of the leafy wood under a brilliant blue sky with white clouds is typical of his work. The mythological and Biblical figural groups are harmonious and varied, and the frequently occurring amoretti are reminiscent of Van Dyck and P. van Avont...”
