Severo Calzetta da Ravenna’s bronze sculpture "Satyress and her Infant" (1520-1575) depicts a female satyr, a mythological creature with goat-like legs and horns, holding an infant satyr. The sculpture, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of Italian Renaissance bronze casting. The intricate details and expressive poses of the figures, along with the ornate base, highlight the artistic skill of the time. This piece likely served as a decorative object or a functional inkstand.
