Satyr Family c. 1500

"Satyr Family" is a bronze relief created by Andrea Briosco, also known as Riccio, in the early 16th century. The work depicts a satyr embracing a nymph, with a young satyr looking on. The scene, rendered in a high-relief style, is filled with detailed anatomical depictions and a sense of movement and energy. This small but detailed bronze relief, characteristic of Riccio's work, is a fine example of Renaissance sculpture.
