Bronze "bacchanal", After Clodion - 2nd Part Of The Nineteenth

Bronze group "Bacchanal", with brown and golden patina, by the Lorraine sculptor Claude Michel (1738-1814), known under the pseudonym Clodion. A prolific artist, Clodion is famous for having won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1759 and for having produced, at the request of Louis XVI, the statue of Montesquieu now on display at the Louvre. “Bacchanal” represents two draped bacchantes, playing the tambourine and dancing, accompanied by a child satyr feasting on bunches of grapes. This work, numbered 4734, bears the signature "Clodion 1762" on the embankment. This bronze band celebrates epicurean life through music and food. ******** Period: 2nd part of the 19th century Excellent condition. Delivery with careful packaging and appropriate protection.
