EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of "Satyr pouring" a Roman copy from the second half of the second century A. D. The original Greek artwork was created by Praxiteles in the fifth century BC and is now housed in the National Roman Museum at Palazzo Altemps, Rome. The statue depicts a satyr, a minor divinity from Greek mythology, engaged in an act of pouring. His muscular body is rendered with remarkable precision and attention to detail, showcasing the mastery of ancient sculptors. The satyr's nude form is draped with an animal skin, adding to his wild and untamed appearance. In this particular portrayal, the satyr holds a grape cluster aloft as he pours wine or some other libation into a vessel below. This imagery symbolizes fertility, abundance, and celebration - themes often associated with Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. The photograph captures not only the beauty of this ancient artwork but also provides insights into fashion and hairstyles prevalent during that time period. It serves as a window into European civilization during antiquity when art flourished under Greco-Roman influence. Dating back to approximately 1920-1930 AD when it was photographed by Alinari Fratelli for their collection (not intended for commercial use), this image continues to be cherished today for its historical significance and artistic merit. It stands as a testament to human creativity across centuries and reminds us of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations like Rome.
