Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Boncompagni Ludovisi Collection.

Medium-grained crystalline marble.

At the centre of the group is Dionysus, protrayed in accordance with idealised Apollonian beauty. The god is flanked by a satyr who supports him, repeating a scheme typical of Dionysus sculpture groups, and a panther, little of which is original. The work is a Roman copy of AD 160-180 of a Greek original of the 4th Century.

The size of the group suggests that it was intended for a large space; since it was found on the Quirinal Hill, in the area of the Baths of Constantine, the group was probably used to decorate a bath room in antiquity.
