The mythological subject of this charming print reflects Dürer's interest in Italian Renaissance art. The subject matter of the Satyr was common in Italian art and was introduced to northern Europe by Dürer. Nonetheless, the idea of a Satyr playing music to his family does not follow any known literary sources. It is an original conception by the artist, undoubtedly created for a sophisticated and scholarly audience.
