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.
John Bell (1811-1895)
Neoclassical sculptor John Bell was born in Hopton, East Anglia, where his wealthy parents had their home Hopton Hall.
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. During his career he exhibited at the Royal Academy from that year all the way through to 1879.

A striking and very high quality Italian 19th century alabaster statue of the Greek goddess Ariadne seated on her panther signed P. Bazzanti Florence.
