EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Pan terrifies a shepherd (Panic Horror)" by Arnold Böcklin, created in 1859, is an oil on canvas masterpiece that measures 78 x 63.8 cm. This intriguing artwork showcases the artist's exceptional talent and his ability to evoke powerful emotions through his brushstrokes. In this scene, we witness a shepherd who has fallen victim to sheer terror as Pan, the mischievous Greek god of nature and shepherds, reveals himself in all his frightful glory. The shepherd's face contorts with panic while he desperately clings to his staff for protection. His eyes widen with horror as he realizes the supernatural presence before him. Böcklin skillfully captures the intense atmosphere of fear by using bold colors and dramatic lighting. The dark shadows cast upon Pan's twisted figure enhance the eerie ambiance of the composition. Every detail is meticulously rendered, from Pan's wild hair and goat-like features to the trembling hands of the terrified shepherd. This thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to contemplate themes such as man's vulnerability when confronted with forces beyond their control or how our fears can consume us entirely. Böcklin successfully transports us into this unsettling moment where panic reigns supreme. Displayed proudly within museums worldwide, this particular print from Liszt Collection allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Böcklin's mastery firsthand and delve into a world where mythological creatures come alive amidst human emotion and turmoil
