Jan van der, zis Pan Lys

Jan van der, zis Pan Lys is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.

Jan van der Lys’s prints are small mirrors of fanciful encounters between humans and mythic creatures from older stories. In Țăran și satir the two figures meet under leafy branches, the peasant calm and the goat-legged satir locked in quiet exchange. This single surviving print suggests a playful, late-Renaissance taste for rustic folklore turned into visual jokes. Tap the print to lean in and see how the linework balances sturdy earth and swirling foliage.
