Description:
|
|
In Greek mythology, Silenus was a companion and tutor to the wine god Dionysus (the Roman deity Bacchus). Cardinal Ferdinando de Medici commissioned the sculpture as a copy of the Borghese Silenus that is now in the Louvre. That work is a Roman copy of the 1st-2nd century CE after a Greek original of the late 4th century BCE, by Lysippos. In 1588 the copy was mentioned as being in the gallery at the Villa Medici in Rome. Around the middle of the 17th century it was placed in front of the staircase of the loggia in the garden, along with Mars, its current companion. It was brought to Florence in 1787 and displayed in the Uffizi. Del Duca's work is more elegant and elongated than the original, showing the transition to Mannerism.
