EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century print, titled "A Satyr Fighting for a Nymph," showcases the rich mythology and artistic prowess of the Italian Renaissance. Anonymous, yet masterfully created, this engraving is attributed to the circle of Francesco Francia, also known as Il Francia or Francesco Vecchio, and Marcantonio Raimondi. The print, dating from approximately 1510-40, depicts a fierce satyr in the midst of a passionate struggle with a nymph. The satyr, a mythical half-human, half-beast creature, is known for their mischievous and lustful nature. In this scene, he is determined to claim the beautiful nymph, who is resisting his advances. The intricate details of the figures and their dynamic poses are a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of the artist. This print, now part of the esteemed collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the mythological world of ancient Greece and Rome, and the enduring influence of these stories on European art and culture.
