The Great God Pan, Bronze sculpture at Columbia University campus, US

The bronze figure depicts Pan as a reclining half-man, half-goat entity playing reed pipes on a granite base measuring 120 centimeters tall.

Created between 1898 and 1899, the sculpture earned George Grey Barnard a Gold Medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris.

The sculpture reflects Greek mythology through Pan, known for his connection to nature and music, represented in a solitary moment with his instrument.

Located north of West 116th Street between Lewisohn Hall and Low Memorial Library, the sculpture weighs approximately 2,000 kilograms.

The Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company cast this substantial piece in one single pour, marking an extraordinary technical achievement for its time.

Creator: George Grey Barnard
