Moses van Uyttenbroeck was a Dutch Golden Age painter known for his mythological and pastoral scenes. One of his notable works is "Wooded Pool with Salmacis and Hermaphroditus," which depicts a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The painting illustrates the myth of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, where the nymph Salmacis falls in love with the handsome Hermaphroditus. In the story, Salmacis prays to the gods to be united with him forever, resulting in their bodies merging into one and creating the first hermaphrodite.

The painting captures the moment in a lush, wooded setting, characteristic of Uyttenbroeck's style, which often included detailed landscapes and a focus on natural beauty. The figures are typically rendered with a delicate touch, emphasizing the ethereal and romantic nature of the myth. Uyttenbroeck's use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, enhancing the mystical atmosphere.

Uyttenbroeck was part of the Dutch tradition of painting small-scale works that combined landscape with narrative elements, often drawing from classical mythology. His works are noted for their intricate detail and the harmonious integration of figures within their natural surroundings. "Wooded Pool with Salmacis and Hermaphroditus" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing his ability to blend storytelling with visual artistry.

Though not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Uyttenbroeck's contributions to the Dutch Golden Age of painting are appreciated for their unique interpretation of mythological themes and their technical skill. His works are held in various collections, reflecting the enduring interest in his approach to classical subjects.
