Reclining Pan
The Drunken Satyr made in Michelangelo's workshop in the 1530s for the Barberini collection as a pendant for the Roman Barberini Faun is attributed to Montorsoli; it is now at the St. Louis Art Museum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wetman (talk • contribs) 10:01, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The Drunken Satyr, better known today as the Reclining Pan, was thought to be a work of antiquity until the 19th century when it was established to be a 16th-century all'antica work. At the time, it was attributed to Michelangelo, and since then, it has variously been given to two students of Michelangelo, Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli and Francesco da Sangallo, and also Giacomo da Cassignola. Today, the Saint Louis Museum of Art gives it to Sangallo, but there is yet to be a consensus about its attribution. Based on a drawing by Peter Paul Rubens, we know the statue existed in c. 1610. At some point of time in the early 1600s, the sculpture entered the Barberini collection (probably in the 1620s). Based on this timeline and the fact that the Barberini Faun was discovered in a moat below the Castel Sant'Angelo in the 1620s, it is impossible for the Reclining Pan to have been carved as a pendant to the Barberini Faun. This information should probably be added to the article. — Rrwagner59 (talk) 19:17, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
