Satyr's family (bringing up of Zeus) is a 1894 unspecified by Hans Thoma, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a family in a natural setting. A man, possibly a satyr, sits on the left, while a woman and two children are on the right. The family is surrounded by lush greenery, with trees and bushes visible in the background. The man is shown with a gentle expression, looking down at the children. The woman is seated, holding one of the children, and appears to be smiling. The children are lying down, with one of them sleeping. The overall atmosphere of the painting is peaceful and idyllic. The use of earthy tones and soft lighting creates a sense of warmth and intimacy. The painting's focus on the family's gentle interaction and the natural surroundings evokes a sense of tranquility.
