EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Greco-Roman marble sculpture of a satyr. Created by the talented artist Corbould, Henry (1787-1844), this engraving beautifully captures the intricate details and mythical allure of this fascinating creature. The statue itself is an exquisite example of classical artistry, depicting a satyr with its characteristic goat-like features and mischievous expression. The satyr's playful nature is evident in its pose, as it seems to be engaged in some sort of game or play. Perhaps it is participating in a marble game, which was popular during ancient times. The engraving comes from "Description of the Collection of Ancient Marbles in the British Museum" published in 1861 by Woodfall and Kinder. It offers us a glimpse into history, allowing us to appreciate the significance and craftsmanship behind these ancient sculptures. With its rich historical context and mythological symbolism, this artwork transports us back to an era where gods and goddesses reigned supreme. It reminds us of the enduring power that mythology held over ancient civilizations and how their beliefs shaped their artistic expressions. Overall, this print serves as both an educational tool for archeology enthusiasts and a stunning piece of art that can be admired for its beauty alone. Its inclusion in private collections further emphasizes its value as a treasured artifact from our past.
