Fauns are the Roman versions of satyrs, which originally came from Greece. At first there were distinctions between the two, satyrs having human feet and fauns having goats' hooves, but eventually the two terms became interchangeable. Claude Gillot loved raucous subjects and was known for his images of Wild Things.
