Unknown Artist (Italy, early 17th century) Seated Faun Bronze on a marble base (later), 32 cm in height Provenance: Private collection This bronze depicts a faun, a mythological figure from ancient Rome often associated with nature and fertility, embodying both human and animal attributes. The faun is portrayed here in a dynamic posture, seated on a marble base, which, though added later, enhances the sculptural dimension of the piece. His muscular and tense body seems to capture a moment of jubilation or exuberant pleasure, as evidenced by his upturned face and open mouth in an ecstatic smile. This expressive gesture, along with the casual positioning of his raised arm behind his head, evokes the freedom and hedonism traditionally associated with these mythological creatures. The quality of the bronze craftsmanship is remarkable, particularly in the muscular details and the expressiveness of the face, signs of technical mastery typical of late Renaissance and early Baroque Italian sculpture. The faun's legs are muscular but also marked by hooves, emphasizing his hybrid nature, half-human and half-animal. This hybridity reflects an iconographic tradition in which fauns are often associated with debauchery and wild living, removed from human society. Seventeenth-century Italy, particularly Rome and Florence, was a hub of prolific artistic production, with artists such as Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Alessandro Algardi...
