EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Barberini Faun, a renowned ancient sculpture now housed in the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany. Created by an unknown Hellenistic sculptor from the Pergamene school, this statue is also known as Sleeping Faun or Drunken Satyr. The image showcases the intricate details of this mythical figure, depicting a man with animalistic features peacefully sleeping or perhaps under the influence of wine. The faun's relaxed posture and serene expression evoke a sense of tranquility and mystery. The artist Giovanni Battista Cannetti skillfully engraved this piece on copperplate, bringing out every contour and texture with precision. Published in 1779 by Gaetano Quojani in Rome, this print exemplifies the artistic mastery of that era. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported back to ancient Rome where mythological creatures roamed freely. The faun symbolizes both human desires and wild instincts, blurring the boundaries between civilization and nature. This image not only celebrates classical art but also invites us to ponder upon our own connection with nature and our primal selves. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, there is still room for wonderment and appreciation for these timeless masterpieces.
