EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture group housed in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The artwork, dating back to the 1st century BC/AD, represents a fierce battle between a Satyr and a goat. Crafted from marble, this masterpiece is an exquisite example of Roman art. The image captures the intensity and aggression displayed by both creatures as they engage in combat. The goat's muscular physique and determined expression reflect its determination to defend itself against the Satyr's onslaught. Meanwhile, the Satyr embodies an otherworldly presence with its half-human, half-animal form. Beyond their physicality, this sculpture group delves into deeper psychological aspects. It explores themes such as aggressiveness and human psychology through mythological symbolism. The Satyr, often associated with minor divinities in Greco-Roman mythology, represents an individual caught between his animalistic instincts and human consciousness. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of art captured by Brogi's lens between 1879-1910 ca. , we are transported back to ancient times when sculptures like these were revered for their intricate details and storytelling abilities. This photograph not only preserves the beauty of this sculptural group but also allows us to appreciate its historical significance within European ancient civilization. Through this image, we gain insight into both physiological and psychological aspects of these terrestrial mammals - goats - while also exploring broader themes related to human behavior. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with classical art forms that continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
