The Barberini Faun I - a photo on Flickriver

            The Barberini Faun

“This statue was found c. 1625 in Rome near the Castel Santa’Angelo, Urban VIII of the Barberini family was pope at the time. He declared the statue to be an inalienable possession of the family, hence his name.
The statue is a Greek original. This can be surmised from the lively working of the surface, the treatment of the hair and the masterly summary depiction of minor details. That the statue halls from Asia Minor also speaks for its being a Greek original. This work was brought from that region in the imperial period.

The sculpture depicts a satyr: a mystical companion of Dionysus. The baroque designation of "Faun" - a Roman shepherd god - is not correct.” [*]
