About the Item

Fine 19th Century Gilt-Bronze Sculpture by JEAN-LEON GEROME Title: L'Extase Bacchique: An Allegory of Abundance and Joy Presenting "L'Extase Bacchique," an enthralling gold-patinated bronze sculpture, emblematic of the French school's mastery during the 19th century. Attributed to the distinguished Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904), this sculpture captures the exuberant spirit of a Bacchante, a devotee of Bacchus, the god of wine and ecstasy. The figural group is a vivid depiction of a nude wood nymph, her form captured in an elegant contrapposto stance, as she delicately holds aloft a staff burgeoning with grapes—a symbol of abundance and fertility. A playful putto, embodying the mirth of Bacchic revels, clings to the staff, climbing towards the bounties above. Each curve and contour is rendered with exquisite finesse, testament to Gérôme's exceptional capability to infuse bronze with the softness of flesh and the fluidity of motion. The sculpture is signed by the artist and bears the prestigious Siot-Decauville Foundry mark, a guarantor of exceptional quality, on its naturalistic, oval base. Measuring an impressive 23 inches in height by 6 1/4 inches in width, this piece resonates with the cultural opulence of the era and is a splendid acquisition for collectors of fine historical sculptures. "L'Extase Bacchique" is not merely a sculpture; it is a celebration of life’s pleasures, immortalized in bronze. JEAN-LÉON GÉRÔME (French, 1824–1904) Date: 19th century Gilt-Bronze; Signed L. GEROME; Stamped Foundry SIOT PARIS; stamped no. 497 II. 23 x 6 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches
