Barberini Faun

Germany

The Barberini Faun (Fauno Barberini), also known as the Drunken Satyr, is a life-size ancient but much restored marble statue currently displayed in the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany. After it was excavated and restored in Rome in the 1620s it became famous, and several copies were made — notably one by Edmé Bouchardon, now at the Louvre. A faun is the Roman equivalent of a Greek satyr. In Greek mythology, satyrs were human-like male woodland spirits, traditionally represented — though notably not at the Barberini Faun depiction — with animal features including goat-like tail, hooves, ears, and horns.
