Satyr Family 1505

Albrecht Dürer's 1505 woodcut *Satyr Family* depicts a satyr, with goat-like features, playing a pipe while a woman nurses a baby. The setting is a forest, as indicated by the trees in the background. This work demonstrates Dürer's mastery of line and detail, creating a sense of realism in the figures and their surroundings. The subject matter, a satyr family, alludes to the themes of nature, fertility, and the human condition, which were frequently explored by Renaissance artists.
