Bacchanal of Satyrs and Cupids, Gerard van Opstal, c. 1640 - c. 1642
The Brussels sculptor Gerard van Opstal created a stir at the French court in Paris with his small-scale ivory reliefs in the Flemish Baroque style of Rubens. Here, this finds expression in the chubby bodies of the putti and the plump proportions of the pair of satyrs.
