Two Fishing Pans — Arnold Bocklin

Arnold Bocklin’s Two Fishing Pans, dated 1874, draws upon classical mythology to present two rustic figures associated with the Greek god Pan in a quietly mysterious natural setting. Characteristic of Bocklin’s Symbolist imagination, the scene blends myth and landscape, transforming an unusual moment of fishing into an evocative vision of the ancient world. Earthy humour and an enigmatic mood give the composition a distinctive character, while its mythological subject reflects the nineteenth-century fascination with antiquity and nature. This museum-inspired reproduction preserves the work’s imaginative atmosphere and singular charm. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings a compelling Symbolist interpretation of Greek mythology into the home.

Our museum-inspired reproductions are printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper, with edge-to-edge artwork and supplied unframed.

To prepare selected historical artworks for fine-art printing, we digitally enhance images where necessary, including adjustments to brightness, contrast and colour balance. These refinements are intended to improve print reproduction while respecting the character of the original artwork. Colours and tonal values may therefore differ from the original painting.
