About the Item
An antique Italian carved marble sculpture of Ariadne and the Panther circa 1860, signed indistinctly, modelled after the antique by Johann Heinrich von Dannecker (1758-1841). Elegantly made, it depicts Princess of Greek Mythology, Ariadne, seated in a relaxed reclining position on a panther. She is nude, swathed partly in drapery and holds a bunch of grapes in her left hand – a nod to her husband Dionysus, God of Wine.
Believed to express the idea of ‘wildness tamed by beauty’, the antique statue on which this depiction is based is regarded as one of Johann Heinrich von Dannecker’s masterpieces. It is located in the Liebeighaus Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. Another depiction inspired by Dannecker is made in porcelain by Minton & Co. and forms part of the Royal Collection.

Italian 19th Century Alabaster Statue of the Greek Goddess Ariadne
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
A striking and very high quality Italian 19th century alabaster statue of the Greek goddess Ariadne seated on her panther signed P. Bazzanti Florence. The statue is raised by a rectangular base with a fine wrap around mottled border and wonderfully executed ground like design. Above is the beautiful Ariadne seated on her panther with her hair tied in a richly sculpted updo while holding an exceptional flowing garment. In Greek mythology, Ariadne was daughter to Minos, the son of Zeus. Associated with mazes and labyrinths because of her involvement in the myths of the Minotaur and Theseus. Shown here riding on one of her husband's, Dionysius God of wine and festivities, panthers. Wonderful attention to detail throughout.
Pietro Bazzanti (1842-1881), Son of the renowned sculptor Nicolò Bazzanti, was a central figure in the production of Florentine sculpture...
