Landscape with a Nymph and a Satyr is a 1647 oil by Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a nude woman and a satyr in the foreground. The woman, with her back to the viewer, sits on a rock, while the satyr lies beside her. A cow and several goats are scattered around them. In the background, a few trees and hills are visible under a cloudy sky. The scene is peaceful, with the figures seemingly lost in thought. The woman's pose and the satyr's presence evoke a sense of mythological or pastoral themes. To explore more works by this artist, look up Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem.
