EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and mesmerizing "Inkstand: Pan listening to Echo" sculpture, created by Riccio (Andrea Briosco) in 1530-1540. Housed at the Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK, this bronze and silver masterpiece is a true testament to Renaissance artistry. The inkstand depicts the mythical god Pan seated on a base, attentively listening to Echo's enchanting sound. Standing at a height of 20.2 cm with a length of 21.5 cm, this ornamental sculpture exudes elegance and grace. Noteworthy details include Pan's horned head adorned with pipes and his nude physique that symbolizes his connection to nature and wildness. The inkwell seamlessly integrates into the figure itself, showcasing Riccio's exceptional craftsmanship. Despite its age, this artwork has retained its beauty through time; however, due to thick patination covering most of its surface, it is challenging to determine if any post-production work was done on the bronze material. As you gaze upon this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, you are transported back in time to witness the skillful execution of Renaissance art techniques. This statuette captures both mythological elements and human emotions flawlessly while celebrating Western art history as an invaluable cultural treasure.
