Satyr Pouring WinePraxiteles
This Roman marble statue is a copy of Praxiteles’ 4th-c. BC Greek original, depicting a youthful satyr, a companion of Dionysus, pouring wine. Though the pitcher and cup are missing, it captures the revelry and music linked to satyrs. Found near Naples in 1797, it exemplifies Praxiteles’ style with sinuous curves and a naturalistic pose, embodying the carefree spirit of Dionysian myth.
