Bust of a drunken Satyr

The Satyr Torlonia, which is configured as a fragment of a statue later transformed into a bust, probably in ancient times enriched the decoration of Roman villas or spa buildings, places of great beauty embellished with mosaics, fountains and sculptures. In the Greco-Roman culture, the Satyrs were figures in which human and animalistic features were merged, joyful followers of the god of wine, Dionysus, who accompanied them in a festive procession. In the imperial age the representation of Satyrs in the grip of intoxication was frequent, as evidenced by the famous Satyr of Herculaneum, today in the Archaeological Museum of Naples, of which the Torlonia bust is a replica: in both sculptures the mythical creature seems to be caught among the joys of a banquet, pleasantly intoxicated by the drink of Dionysus, with the disheveled face and the head, marked by small goat horns.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
