"Pan and Syrinx" is a 17th-century painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Willem de Heusch. This artwork depicts the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, in which the god Pan, known for his insatiable lust, chases the nymph Syrinx. As Syrinx flees from Pan's advances, she prays to the river gods for help and is transformed into reeds to escape him. Pan, in his grief at the loss of Syrinx, cuts the reeds and creates the pan flute, which is also known as syrinx.

Willem de Heusch, active in Utrecht between 1635 and 1692, was known for his Italianate landscapes and his ability to infuse classical themes with a Northern European sensibility. His interpretation of "Pan and Syrinx" is a testament to the enduring popularity of mythological subjects in 17th-century Dutch art, reflecting the period's fascination with antiquity and the natural world.

The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the pastoral landscape, the dynamic movement of the figures, and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow. De Heusch's work often showcases his skill in depicting the textures of the natural world, from the foliage of trees to the softness of the reeds, which plays a significant role in this particular narrative.

"Pan and Syrinx" by Willem de Heusch not only exemplifies the artist's adeptness in landscape painting but also serves as an important example of how Dutch artists of the period engaged with classical mythology to explore themes of desire, transformation, and the relationship between humans and nature. The painting is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly study in the context of Dutch Golden Age painting and the reception of classical mythology in early modern Europe.
