About the piece
Produced in the workshop of Jacob Jordaens around 1644, this painting illustrates the popular Aesop's fable where a satyr is astonished by the duality of human nature. The work captures the tactile richness and robust humanity characteristic of Flemish Baroque art, with its warm, saturated palette and dynamic grouping of figures typical of the Antwerp school.
