About this work

Artist: William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905)
Year: 1873
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 260 × 180 cm
Collection: Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts
Movement: Academic

Four nymphs drag a reluctant satyr toward a woodland pool, two pulling at his arms and one at his horn, while a fourth beckons from the water and others watch from the shadows of the trees. Bouguereau painted the large canvas in Paris in 1873 and exhibited it at the Salon that year with a quotation from the Latin poet Statius. It was bought by the American collector John Wolfe and later hung for decades in the bar of the Hoffman House hotel in New York, where it was one of the city's best-known paintings, before being put in storage as tastes changed. Robert Sterling Clark bought it in 1942, and it is in the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown. The dappled light on the figures and the polished finish are typical of his mythological work.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Nymphs and Satyr in the public domain?

Yes. William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Clark Art Institute.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Nymphs and Satyr painted, and in what medium?

Nymphs and Satyr dates from 1873 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 260 × 180 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
