Sculpture, Fauno danzante - 75 cm - Bronze - 1900

Description
The bronze statue of the Dancing Faun is a faithful reproduction of one of the most famous masterpieces of ancient art, discovered in Pompeii and now housed at the Archaeological Museum of Naples.

The subject depicts a faun dancing, a symbol of fertility and abundance in Greco-Roman culture. Its elegant posture and joyful expression immediately convey a sense of freedom and vitality, embodying the playful and festive nature of the faun, linked to rituals and celebrations in honor of Dionysus.

Made in bronze using the lost-wax technique, this sculpture is derived from a mold of the original created in the early 20th century by the historic Fonderia Chiurazzi of Naples. In addition to large-scale monuments, the foundry produced faithful copies of statues from major museums, contributing to the souvenir market for travelers of the Grand Tour between the 19th and 20th centuries.
