Sculpture in White Marble, Head of a Young Bacchus

About the Item

This exquisite sculpture, crafted from precious white Italian marble, captures the head of a young Bacchus, the Roman deity known for his association with wine, grape harvests, and the pleasures of the senses. Created in the first half of the 20th century, this piece reflects the enduring fascination with Bacchus as a subject in art, embraced by many of history's greatest artists. The sculpture showcases exceptional artistic quality, with meticulous attention to facial features and proportions that demonstrate a deep understanding of sculptural techniques. While the work is not signed, its artistry speaks volumes. It is in excellent condition, although it does feature a subtle line of blue color located beneath the chin (as shown in the accompanying photos). This imperfection is positioned in an inconspicuous area that remains hidden when the sculpture is displayed. Accompanied by a contrasting black marble base, the base not only highlights the purity of the white marble but also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. This elegant piece, rich in classical flavor, would make a distinguished addition to any private art collection, offering both beauty and a connection to the timeless tradition of sculpture. Don't miss the opportunity to own this captivating work of art, which promises to be a conversation starter and a cherished centerpiece in your collection.
