Bust of Marsyas at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
myminifactory
Permoser's hauntingly twisted stone figures on Dresden's Zwinger Palace exemplify German Baroque sculpture at its finest. This intensely expressive bust of Marsyas, crafted in Italy during his early years, showcases Permoser's mastery of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's style and foreshadows the unique approach he would develop in Germany. The anguished face of the screaming satyr Marsyas, flayed alive after losing a musical contest with Apollo, pays homage to Bernini's 1619 masterpiece "Damned Soul." However, the savage countenance ravaged by clenched brows and squinting eyes in agony is unmistakably Permoser's own creation. Deliberately coarse, flame-like hair contrasts sharply with excruciatingly precise details like the torn tongue. The bust's unfinished back and attachment for a bracket suggest it was originally intended for a niche, possibly in a palace courtyard.
