Description:
|
|
A musical companion of the god Dionysos. The tree trunk support draped with an animal skin suggests that the marble is a copy of a bronze original which would have been freestanding. It was heavily restored in the nineteenth century; the face shows that the satyr was playing a flute, not the finger cymbals shown. Why the restorer, Thorvaldsen, ignored the evidence of the figure’s puffed cheeks is a mystery. Found in 1824 on Monte Calvo near Rieti in central Italy.
