Franz von Bayros

Bayros painted elegant, often playful scenes of myth and folklore—think satyrs cavorting with nymphs or masked dancers in candlelit rooms. His brush stayed close to the Decadent and Symbolist mood of late 1800s Europe, where art chased mood over realism. Here you’ll find two of his works: Dansul and Satyr cu nimfe. Tap Satyr cu nimfe to see how he mixed soft bodies and sharp outlines.
