About the Item
GRAND TOUR "BACCHANALIA" BRONZE CASSOLETTE AFTER CLAUDE MICHEL CLODION
Patinated and burnished bronze, polished brass, verde marble
France, cast circa 1870
Item # 309SWK07P
A very finely cast and finished Napoleon III period vasiform urn, it is an exquisite sand-cast creation utilizing bronze and brass to create an extraordinary contrast between materials. The body of the vase is rich in a dark-brown chemical patina that positively glows around the bas-relief Bacchanalia scene of putto playing a tug-of-war type game, carrying wine glasses and bunches of grapes and one walking with a thrysus raised over his shoulder while roaring animal heads flank either end with polished bronze garlands of water-leaves and berries draped between. The lid and neck are crafted of polished brass, which gives a cooler tone to the brilliant shine of the metal. The urn is raised over a shaped verde marble base and finished over a polished brass rim affixed on the underside with slotted screws. After the models by Claude Michel Clodion.
Measurements: 13 3/4" H x 4 3/8" D x 4 1/2" W
Condition Report:

Chiurazzi of Naples. Foundry seals are located on their shoulders verso. The first is a fine cast of Homer after the marble bust of Antiquity formerly in the Farnese collection and currently in the permanent collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. It depicts the aged Greek poet and author of the Illiad and the Odyssey as a bearded man dressed in a tunic with a ribbon holding back his hair while concerned wrinkles line his forehead. His eyes are empty and devoid of anything, the absence alluding to his blindness while the sheer intensity of his spirit overwhelms the viewer. His simple garment are a reminder of his poverty. The second bust known as "Pseudo Seneca" is cast after the original bust of antiquity found in 1754 at Herculaneum in the Villa of the Papyri, the home of Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, father-in-law of Julius Caesar.
