The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing
basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English
Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

Nymphs and Satyr

I’ve always admired Bouguereau’s famous painting ‘Nymphs and Satyr’ and while Bouguereau’s working methods and style were traditional, this work is I think a wonderfully rhythmical composition.

The painting was exhibited in Paris in 1873, just one year before the Impressionists mounted their first exhibition and impressionist paintings must have seemed very radical by contrast. The painting is now owned by and is on display at the Clark Institute in Massachusetts.
