Description:
|
The bronze statue, which portrays a drunken elderly satyr, lying on a rock covered with a lion skin, adorned the western side of the natation (swimming pool) in the middle of the large peristilium (four-sided colonnade with a central garden) of Villa of the Papyri, Herculaneum. For some scholars the Hellenistic original, which inspired the Roman copy, might be a work in the style of Lysippus, that can be dated to the first quarter of the third century BCE, while other scholars think that the original was created in Asia Minor following the style of the late-Hellenistic period (third quarter of the second century BCE). Found in the rectangular peristyle of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum. (Source: Naples National Archaeological Museum [website]; https://www.museoarcheologiconapoli.it/en/)
