Image description

The satyr Marsyas paid dearly for his pride in thinking he could rival Apollo, the god of music, in a musical competition. The victorious god peeled off the satyr’s skin in punishment for his arrogance. The surprised look on Marsyas’s shaded face contrasts with the calm and illuminated demeanor of the god, who coolly slices the creature’s flesh. It is no accident that the earthbound satyr stands before a tree, while the god is silhouetted against the sky.
