Antique Minton Parian-ware Sculpture of Ariadne & the Panther by John Bell

About the Item

An antique Minton parian-ware and porcelain sculpture of Ariandne and the panther modelled by John Bell (1811-1895). Dating to the mid 19th century, this sculpture depicts the Cretan princess Ariadne, wife of the god of wine Dionysus, seated on the big cat in a relaxed pose, after the original by Johann Heinrich von Dannecker. In Neoclassical style, this well carved sculpture is over 170 years old and displays a unique scene from Greek mythology. The slight discolouration gives the sculpture a characterful time worn look perfect for homes looking to add charm and appreciate its history.

He grew up in Yarmouth, then at aged 16 went to London to study first at Sass’s art school then Royal Academy Schools, in 1829. Soon after he set up as a sculptor in 1832.
