A Satyr Visiting a Peasant
# A Satyr Visiting a Peasant

A Satyr Visiting a Peasant is a set of oil on canvas paintings by Jacob Jordaens on the same subject, produced in the 1620s, with one outlier in the 1650s. They illustrate "The Man and the Satyr", one of Aesop's Fables, possibly from Jost van Vondel's Dutch adaptation of 1617.

The artist repeatedly returned to the subject, with similar works in museums in Brussels, Budapest, Kassel, Munich and Saint Petersburg. The Saint Petersburg work was painted around 1622, with autograph additions dating to 1630–1635. It was bought by Catherine the Great in 1768 and kept in the Hermitage Museum until 1930, when it was moved to the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, where it remains.
