Satyr's Head 1566 - 1580

Adamo Scultori's "Satyr's Head" is a pen and ink drawing depicting a grotesque, comical satyr's head. The satyr's face, with a wide, open mouth and bulging eyes, is full of life, while the intricate details of the hair and beard create a sense of movement and dynamism. This drawing, created between 1566-1580, showcases Scultori's mastery of detail and his interest in the grotesque, a popular subject in Renaissance art. The drawing's small size and intimate scale make it a personal and intimate work, inviting the viewer to closely examine the satyr's features. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
