This print showcases the mesmerizing view of two sides of the Faun Room in Rome's renowned Capitoline Museum. The room derives its name from the enchanting statue of the laughing Satyr, which stands proudly in the center, exuding an air of mischievousness and joy. On the left side of this remarkable image, one's gaze is drawn towards a magnificent marble sarcophagus adorned with intricate carvings depicting the mythological tale of Meleager. This portrayal transports viewers into a world where ancient legends come to life, capturing their imagination and curiosity. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, offering us a glimpse into history and allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance.
