Bronze Statuette of a Satyr with a Torch and Wineskin in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2011
Title: Bronze statuette of a satyr with a torch and wineskin
Medium; Technique: Bronze
Culture: Greek
Period: Hellenistic
Date: 3rd–2nd century B.C.
Dimensions: H. 9 15/16 in. (25.3 cm)
Classification: Bronzes
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1941
Accession Number: 41.11.6
Description:
Thiasoi were jubilant celebrations in honor of Dionysos that were attended by satyrs and maenads. From ancient literature, we learn that thiasoi occurred outdoors, and often at night. This fine bronze satyr can be identified as a participant in one such revel. An unusual aspect of his iconography is the inverted torch, a motif with great narrative potential, for the satyr may be extinguishing it or perhaps lighting it from a hearth. The full wineskin implies the latter and evokes the promise of a long, boisterous evening of drunken merriment.
