Description
Nymphs and a Satyr (Amor Vincit Omnia), circa 1625-1627. Like his colleague Claude Lorrain, Poussin depicted historical and mythological subjects in landscapes inspired by the countryside around Rome. His themes were often complex, and frequently incorporated witty allusions to classical texts. Here, a playful cupid tugs Pan, the goatlegged Greek god of the woods, toward Venus, the goddess of love. The painting cleverly illustrates the Latin phrase amor vincit omnia, or "love conquers all" (in Greek, pan means "all"). The woodland setting represents the idyllic paradise of Pan?s home. Creator George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier (British, 1834-1896). (Photo by Heritage Arts/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
