About the Item
A Large French Terracotta Figure of Bacchus and a Beauty, Signed Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse. This terracotta sculpture is a representation of the 1868 work by French sculptor Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, titled Offering to Bacchus (Offrande à Bacchus). Bacchus is the Roman deity associated with wine, agriculture, indulgence, and fertility. He supported the arts, theater, and human leisure, and held major significance to pagan worshippers during the growing season.
In this scene, a devout woman makes an offering to Bacchus—happily disembodied while sitting on the branches of a tree. He is adorned by a crown of grapes, signifying his godly power and the earthly realm he watches over. For the harvest to be plentiful, Bacchus would accept offerings from his human devotees. Pleased by a multitude of intoxicants, Bacchus happily accepts the offering from the young woman whose motives are unknown. Perhaps the small child next to her hints at her desire for fertility.

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse
Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was a French sculptor. Carrier-Belleuse was born on 12th June 1824 at Anizy-le-Château, Aisne, France. He began his training as a goldsmith's apprentice. He was a student of David d'Angers and briefly studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. His career is distinguished by his versatility and his work outside France, in England between 1850–55 and in Brussels around 1871. His name is perhaps best known because Auguste Rodin worked as his assistant between 1864 and 1870. The two traveled to Brussels in 1871 and by some accounts, Rodin assisted Carrier-Belleuse's architectural sculpture for the Brussels Stock Exchange.
