Further details
ARNOLD BÖCKLIN, STUDY OF A RECLINING DRYAD, GRAPHITE
Arnold Böcklin was the leading representative of the Symbolist movement in Switzerland and Germany. He drew his inspiration from ancient mythology, translating its eerie strangeness. Appreciated during his lifetime, his work remained particularly influential in artistic circles at the turn of the century. His famous Island of the Dead, 1880 (Kunstmuseum Basel, inv. 1055; first version) inspired Sergei Rachmaninov's symphonic poem of the same name (Opus 29) in 1909. The present drawing is a preparatory sketch for the painting Pan and the Dryads, now in the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, and shows a lying dryad listening to the god's flute.
