Saturnalia by Ernesto Biondi, Bronze sculpture in Palermo Botanical Garden, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Saturnalia sculpture features an ensemble of six figures, including a priest, musician, gladiator, and other characters arranged in a dynamic composition.
Created in 1907 by Italian sculptor Ernesto Biondi, this artwork faced a two-year delay at customs before reaching its destination in Buenos Aires.
The sculpture represents the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia, depicting social roles and human interactions through detailed bronze craftsmanship.
