The curse of painting in darkness

Léon Spilliaert's Faun by Moonlight (1900) is one of the strangest paintings you've probably never seen. Created when the artist was just eighteen, the work shows a solitary faun playing his flute across a barren landscape, followed by four goats under the cold glow of a massive moon. Using only India ink, black crayon, and colored pencils, Spilliaert drained all warmth from the scene—rendering it in stark blacks, grays, and whites. The faun is caught mid-dance, one goat mid leap, yet the entire atmosphere feels frozen, silent, and profoundly lonely. Most critics believe the faun is actually Spilliaert himself—a young insomniac suffering from chronic pain, projecting his sleepless nights onto mythological forms. Hidden in a private collection for over a century, this painting transforms classical mythology into something deeply psychological and impossible to forget.
