One of the most famous paintings by William-Adolphe Bouguereau is entitled “Nymphs and Satyr.” When first displayed, it was declared the “best painting of a generation” by art critics. When the painting was initially shown to the public, it was accompanied by a verse from the ancient Roman poet, Publius Statius, to give context to the artwork: “Conscious of his shaggy hide and from childhood untaught to swim, he dares not trust himself to deep waters.”

The painting shows several nude nymphs teasing and inviting a satyr to join their fun in a pool of water. Will the satyr’s desire overcome his fear of the water?

This classical Greek myth image, as an 8.5 x 11 inch photo print, is for sale at my store on eBay (without the watermark on it). You can purchase a photo print of these beautiful naked nymphs flirting with a satyr on eBay, just click on the image to be taken to eBay or use the link below the picture.

Lately, I have begun to create memes in earnest… Here is an example which I call the “Modern Wood Nymph.” She has just partially transitioned from bamboo wood to human form. By the way, another word for wood nymph is “a dryad” – creatures who pop up in Ancient Greek mythology all the time.

A lovely bamboo wood nymph manifests herself in the forest.
