Artist: Jacob Jordaens
Artwork: Apollo Victorious over Pan
Description: The painting depicts the contest between Apollo and Pan, as described in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Apollo, the god of music and poetry, is shown playing the lyre, while Pan, the god of the wild, is playing the panpipes. The satyrs and nymphs who are gathered around them are variously impressed by the two musicians. Apollo is ultimately declared the winner by King Midas, who is shown seated on the right side of the painting.
