EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating scene from the 16th century. Titled "Satyr Leading Goat on which an Infant Rides" this engraving was published between 1599 and 1622, its creator unknown. The image depicts a mythical half-man, half-beast creature known as a satyr leading a goat, upon which an infant boy joyfully rides. The intricate details of this artwork transport us to the Italian countryside, where mythology comes alive. The child's innocent expression reflects pure delight as he embarks on this whimsical adventure with his unusual companions. The artist skillfully captures the essence of both human and animal forms in this intriguing composition. Formerly attributed to Enea Vico but now recognized as possibly being after Battista Franco, the print is part of a series called "Ex Antiquis Cameorum". It beautifully combines elements of fantasy and reality, evoking curiosity about ancient tales and legends. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is truly a testament to our rich cultural heritage. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers even centuries later. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with stories from long ago.
