EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Roman sculpture of Pan and Hermaphrodite, dating back to the 1st century AD. Standing at a height of 105 cm, this marble masterpiece is now part of a private collection. The image showcases an erotic and mythological scene, depicting a female figure struggling with Pan, the half-human half-goat deity. The sculpture beautifully portrays desire through its intricate details and symbolism. Pan's goat skin drapes over his muscular body as he engages in a violent struggle with the hermaphrodite figure. This classical representation explores themes of nudity, intersexuality, and mythology. The hybrid nature of both figures adds depth to their mythological significance. As one gazes upon this fragmentary artwork, it becomes evident that it represents more than just physical beauty; it embodies ancient pagan beliefs and polytheistic religion. Through its portrayal of nakedness and semi-nudity, this artwork challenges societal norms while inviting viewers into an exploration of human desires and primal instincts. It serves as a reminder that even in antiquity, art was used to express complex emotions and provoke contemplation about our place within the world. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this extraordinary piece from Fine Art Finder without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company.
