About the Item
Bronze group with a brown patina, entitled "The Childhood of Silenus," signed Clodion and annotated "Cresson Éditeur" on the base. Claude Michel (1738-1814), known as Clodion, was a sculptor from Lorraine, a student of Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, known for having received numerous awards for his mythological and allegorical work.
"The Childhood of Silenus" depicts a young satyr in human form, his pan flute slung over his shoulder, accompanied by a bacchante and two children, all dressed in drapery and animal skins. They dance, play the tambourine, and stroll in a joyful atmosphere.
This group is mounted on a griotte Italian marble base with a molded and beaded edge.
The whole rests on an oval base with a mahogany groove.
This work is appreciated for its realism, its jovial spirit, and its dimension.
