"Pyramus and Thisbe" (1788-1790) is a neoclassical sculpture by the German artist Johann August Nahl the Younger, also known as Johann August Nahl II. This work of art is a sculptural representation of the tragic love story of Pyramus and Thisbe, characters from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The tale, which predates and likely influenced Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," revolves around two Babylonian lovers who, forbidden to marry by their parents, communicate through a crack in the wall that separates their homes. Their story ends in a tragic misunderstanding that leads to their mutual demise.

Nahl's sculpture captures a moment of high drama and emotion, as is characteristic of neoclassical art, which often sought to depict scenes from classical antiquity with an emphasis on idealized beauty and noble themes. The work is a testament to Nahl's skill in rendering human form and emotion, as well as his ability to imbue marble with a sense of life and narrative.

Johann August Nahl the Younger was born into a family of artists and became known for his work in sculpture. He was active during a period when neoclassicism was at its peak, and his works reflect the influence of this movement, which sought to revive the artistic principles of ancient Greece and Rome.

"Pyramus and Thisbe" is considered an important work within Nahl's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of neoclassical sculpture in the context of late 18th-century European art. The sculpture is not only a representation of a mythological subject but also an example of the era's artistic trends and the cultural fascination with classical antiquity.
