Pan. Artist: Andrea Briosco, called Riccio (Italian, Trent 1470-1532 Padua). Culture: Italian, Padua. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 14 1/8 × 6 1/4 × 4 3/4 in. (35.9 × 15.9 × 12.1 cm) Base (confirmed): 7 in. × 6 3/4 in. × 7 in. (17.8 × 17.1 × 17.8 cm). Date: ca. 1510-20. In the half-human, half-animal features of the mythical race of satyrs, Andrea Briosco, called Riccio, found great expressive potential. Furthermore, the creatures' classical associations appealed to the sculptor's learned clientele, who purchased the bronze statuettes that were his preferred medium. These diminutive objects could also be made into useful desktop equipment for writing or lighting by placing containers for ink, sand, or oil in the satyrs' arms. A hole in the shell shouldered by the Museum's figure may have held a chain to tether a snuffer for candles stuck on the lamp's pricket, while the gadrooned vase under his right arm would have contained ink. Although it seems almost oversize for its purpose, the statuette was nevertheless a practical object: the lamp was raised high enough to cast a wide light, and the ink was proffered at a reasonable level to dip in a quill. In 1985 Dieter Blume made the interesting proposal, now generally accepted, that this figure, which had long been identified as a satyr, in fact represents Pan, the Greek deity with legs and horns of a goat, whose power over nature could sow panic or stir creation.[1] The flaming oil and ink thus must symbolize both his sway over the elements and the inspiration sought by any scholar who read and wrote with their aid. While functional, it is above all a powerful sculpture. Against the limited group of autograph works by Riccio in this category and the extensive number of workshop productions, this one stands out on account of its large size and forceful presence. Its model is a well-known pair of lifesize antique marble satyr-atlantes once in the Della Valle collection in Rome and today in the Musei Capitolini in t
