Sul dipinto
Ninfa e satiro, o La ninfa e il satiro (in francese La nymphe et le satyre; in russo Нимфа и сатир?, Nimfa i satir), è un dipinto a olio su tela realizzato nel 1909 dal pittore francese Henri Matisse. Già facente parte della collezione di opere d'arte di Sergej Ivanovič Ščukin (che includeva altre tele di Matisse), attualmente è conservato nel museo dell'Ermitage di San Pietroburgo.
Con le parole del museo — in russo
"Нимфа и сатир" - картина, созданная Матиссом в 1909 г. Так же, как и годом раньше написанная "Игра в шары", работа принадлежит циклу, посвященному "золотому веку". Матисс пишет обнаженные тела на фоне природы. Мягко поднимаются к небу холмы; чист, светоносен цвет земли, успокаивает аквамарин воды. И в этот мир покойных зелено-синих тонов Матисс вводит два резких цветовых акцента: розовый - цвет тела нимфы и красноватый - сатира. Предельная упрощенность и точность абриса их тел концентрирует страсть погони, жажду обладания в сатире и беспомощность споткнувшейся жертвы - в нимфе. Откровенный эротизм этой работы необычен для художника. Тема картины вызывает в памяти античные мифы об Аполлоне и Дафне, Пане и Сиринге, заключающие в себе вечное противостояние двух полов, страсть и ускользание.

Nella vita di Henri Matisse
Tutta la vita1906
Meeting Pablo Picasso
The first meeting between Matisse and Picasso took place at the Steins' salon on the Rue de Fleurus in Paris. Their creative friendship was full of rivalry and mutual respect.
20 March 1906
"Le Bonheur de Vivre" at the Salon des Indépendants
Matisse presented "Le Bonheur de Vivre" (The Joy of Life), a painting combining pastoral and bacchanal motifs. Critics and academic circles reacted with extreme irritation, but Leo Stein purchased this painting as well.
1906
Trip to Algeria
Matisse visited the oasis of Biskra; immediately upon his return he painted "Blue Nude (Souvenir de Biskra)" and created the sculpture "Reclining Nude I." He brought back ceramics and textiles from the trip and became fascinated with the ornamental art of the Muslim East.
1908
Shchukin's Commission for "Dance" and "Music"
The Russian collector Sergei Shchukin commissioned three decorative panels from Matisse for his Moscow house: "Dance," "Music," and "Bathing" (which remained at the sketch stage). The money of Russian collectors allowed the artist to finally overcome his financial difficulties.
25 December 1908
"Notes of a Painter"
"Notes of a Painter" was published in La Grande Revue, in which Matisse formulated his artistic principles — the need to convey emotion directly through simple means.
1908
Opening of the Académie Matisse
With the support of the Steins, Hans Purrmann, and other patrons, Matisse founded a private, non-commercial painting school, where he taught from January 1908 to 1911. About 100 students studied at the academy during that time.
