19th Century Grand Tour Bronze Figure of a Young Man as Dionysos or Narcissus
About the Item
Italian, late 19th century.
A 'Grand Tour' patinated bronze figure of a young man, representing Dionysos (Bacchus), previously thought to be Narcissus.
Good quality with heavy patination to surface. Coveted by the 19th century intellectuals and aesthetes, such exquisite objects were not mere decorations, but symbols of their owner's classical values and refined taste.
In Greek mythology, Dionysos is the god of wine and dance, of irrationality and chaos, representing passion, emotions and instincts. Just as his Roman counterpart Bacchus, Dionysos is associated with sensuality, please and abandon.
The statue of Dionysus (previously misidentified as Narcissus) is a copy of the original bronze, discovered in 1862 in the Vicolo del Balcon Pensile in Pompeii, now preserved in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples.
This great statue will display great amongst a collection of other Grand Tour figures or in a Classical home.
