Summary

Description
Català: Sàtir i nimfa, intent de violació, exposició de la Bellesa del Cos, Museu Arqueològic d'Alacant. Aquesta jove que forceja per escapar d'un sàtir és una nimfa, ésser sobrenatural associat a la naturalesa. Els sàtirs eren éssers mítics de cos en part humà però amb potes, cua i orelles de cavall. Era habitual representar les nimfes, éssers singulars, nues i moltes vegades víctima d'agressió sexual de sàtirs. Aquesta classe d'imatges eren una modalitat de pornografia que omplia les fantasies masculines sobre relacions sexuals desenfrenades en una societat en què entre ciutadans i dones respectables estaven estrictament regulades. Aquesta és una de tantes còpies romanes d'una obra anterior grega dels segles II i I a. C. que no s'ha conservat. El magistral entrellaçament dels cossos en una composició complexa prevista per ser vista des de qualsevol posició, és característic de l'art grec tardà.
English: Satyr and nymph, attempted rape, Beauty of the Body exhibition, Archaeological Museum of Alicante. This young woman struggling to escape from a satyr is a nymph, a supernatural being associated with nature. Satyrs were mythical beings with a part-human body but with the legs, tail and ears of a horse. It was common to represent the nymphs, singular beings, naked and often victims of sexual assault by satyrs. This class of images were a form of pornography that filled male fantasies about unbridled sexual relations in a society in which respectable citizens and women were strictly regulated. This is one of many Roman copies of an earlier Greek work from the 2nd or 1st century BC which has not been preserved. The masterly interweaving of bodies in a complex composition intended to be seen from any position is characteristic of late Greek art.
