Idyll - Woman with a Flute (1874). Jean-Jacques Henner (French, 1829-1905). Oil on canvas. National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.A nymph is beside a pond, as night descends, playing on a flute. She is nude, with that warm, vibrant nudity that awakens memories of the flesh of Giorgione’s women. Her face is in shadow but the remaining light bathes her white body, with that rich, warm whiteness that reveals, through the transparency of the skin, the inner flame, the pulsing life. Her tawny tresses fall down her back. -- source link
