Rondanini Faun, Marble statue in British Museum, Camden, England
The Rondanini Faun stands 175 centimeters tall and depicts a dancing figure holding cymbals with one foot raised in movement.
François Duquesnoy created this marble sculpture between 1625 and 1630, incorporating an ancient torso and adding new limbs and head elements.
The statue represents a mythological faun, combining Classical Greek ideals with Baroque period artistic innovations in sculptural techniques.
The Rondanini Faun is displayed in the Department of Britain, Europe & Prehistory at the British Museum under reference number 1988,1208.1.
The statue draws its name from Palazzo Rondanini in Rome, where it remained before becoming part of the British Museum collection.
