This etching, created by Marco Dente between 1510 and 1532, depicts a satyr in a violent struggle with a ram. The satyr, a creature from classical mythology, is depicted as a man with goat-like legs and horns, wielding a club against the ram. The dynamic composition, set against an architectural backdrop, highlights the intensity of the fight. This detailed work, showcasing the masterful skill of Dente, is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
