Busto de Mársias

Balthasar Permoser German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 548

Permoser foi o escultor mais proeminente da escultura barroca alemã. Quando jovem, viajou para a Itália e, na verdade, este busto de Mársias foi provavelmente esculpido em Roma. Inspirado na escultura de Bernini Alma condenada, de 1619 no Palazzo di Spagna, em Roma, Permoser captou o clímax do castigo horrendo infligido a Mársias: o sátiro, que se atreveu a desafiar Apolo em uma competição musical, foi esfolado vivo. Os olhos semicerrados e os cabelos como em chamas são típicos das emoções extremas expressas pelo autor. Da boca aberta parece quase possível ouvir os gritos reprimidos de Mársias.
