P. S. Krøyer travelled via Holland and Belgium to Paris in 1877
where he visited the art museums. In Paris he rented a room in the
Montmartre district, an area where other Danish painters lived.
His good friend the painter Tuxen introduced him to Léon Bonnat
and soon Krøyer joined the "École Bonnat".
The Greek author Longus (3rd or 4th century) wrote this pastoral
romance about a pair of lovers, their adventures and their final
happy reunion and marriage. The couple is very often depicted as
shepherds with a syrinx.
