Jacob Jordaens would paint his version of Pan and Syrinx in 1618, using oil on canvas, and his Jordaens interpretation of a story from Greek mythology. 

Syrinx was a beautiful naiad nymph, who was observed by the god Pan as she played by the banks of the River Ladon. 

Pan chased after Syrinx, but keen to maintain her chastity, Syrinx prayed to her father, who transformed her into river reeds. thwarted, Pan cut down some of the reeds, and created his pan-pipes, the syrinx.
