EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Silenus Sleeping Right Taunted Satyr Goat Climbing" by Giorgio Ghisi, an Italian artist from Mantua. Created around 1540, this masterpiece captures a moment of both tranquility and mischief. In the center of the composition, Silenus, a mythical creature known for his association with wine and revelry, is peacefully asleep on a table. His plump figure exudes contentment as he rests in slumber. However, to his left stands a mischievous satyr goat who seems determined to disturb Silenus' peaceful rest. The satyr goat playfully taunts Silenus by climbing up the table towards him. Its agile movements contrast with Silenus' serene repose, creating an intriguing dynamic within the artwork. The intricate details of each character's expression and body language bring them to life on paper. Giorgio Ghisi skillfully engraved this scene after Giulio Romano's original work in Rome between 1499 and 1546. The precise lines and delicate shading showcase Ghisi's mastery of his craft. Measuring approximately 8 x 11 7/8 inches (203 x 302 cm), this trimmed engraving is presented within its platemark for an authentic touch. It is one among many prints that exemplify Giorgio Ghisi's talent as an artist during the Renaissance period.
