"Amintas Freeing Sylvia" is a porcelain sculpture created by the Höchst Manufactory in Germany between 1765 and 1775. The sculpture depicts a scene from the popular 18th-century pastoral romance "The Shepherdess of the Alps" by Johann Gessner. Amintas, a shepherd, frees Sylvia from her bonds, a popular subject in Rococo art, demonstrating the celebration of love and nature. This piece is a prime example of German porcelain figural sculpture from the Rococo period and now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
