We are delighted to offer this unusual and very well detailed Art Nouveau relief Copper Plaque of the Greek God Pan, which is in a wide gilt frame. Pan was the Greek God of the wild, shepherds and flocks, the mountain wilds, rustic music and is associated with fertility and the season of Spring. He has the hindquarter, legs and horns of a goat, in the same manner of a faun or satyr. The plaque shows his head looming over a landscape of distant mountains. It is unsigned.

In the late 19th century Pan became an increasingly common figure in literature and art. Patricia Merivale states that between 1890 and 1926 there was an "astonishing resurgence of interest in the Pan motif". He appears in poetry, in novels and children's books, and is referenced in the name of the character Peter Pan. In the Peter Pan stories, Peter represents a golden age of pre-civilisation in both the minds of very young children, before enculturation and education, and in the natural world outside the influence of humans. Peter Pan’s character is both charming and selfish emphasizing our cultural confusion about whether human instincts are natural and good, or uncivilised and bad. J. M. Barrie describes Peter as ‘a betwixt and between’, part animal and part human, and uses this device to explore many issues of human and animal psychology within the Peter Pan stories.

The Plaque is framed in a deep 4" gilt frame, with gadrooned edge and slip. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
