About the Item

Bronze group "Bacchanal," with a brown and gold patina, by the Lorraine sculptor Claude Michel (1738-1814), known under the pseudonym Clodion. A prolific artist, Clodion is famous for winning the Grand Prix de Rome in 1759 and for having created, at the request of Louis XVI, the statue of Montesquieu now on display at the Louvre. "Bacchanal" depicts two draped bacchantes, playing the tambourine and dancing, accompanied by a child satyr feasting on bunches of grapes. This work, numbered 4734, bears the signature "Clodion 1762" on the base. This bronze group celebrates the epicurean life through music and food. ******** Period: Second half of the 19th century Excellent condition.
