Description: | The ideal landscape of Greek and Roman civilisation was called Arcadia. There was a real Arcadia in ancient Greece, inhabited by shepherds and hunters who worshipped Pan, the god of flocks and herds. The imaginary Arcadia of the Renaissance (c.1500) was rural paradise inhabited by curvaceous nymphs and lusty satyrs, an erotic-dream landscape. By the time this painting was created, the satyrs have gone, but the girls remain.
