A Large and Rare Gilt and Patinated Bronze Jardiniere or Monumental Wine Cooler
About the Item
A Large and Rare Gilt and Patinated Bronze Jardiniere or Monumental Wine Cooler.
With upright scroll handles over a cylindrical body cast with scenes of a bacchic procession and centred by Bacchus and Ariadne on a cheetah-drawn chariot, above a Greek key band with satyr masks suspending floral garlands. The gadrooned socle suspended by four scroll feet, on a shaped foot.
The sculptural panel depicts the triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne. The god of wine, is shown seated in his chariot revelled around by men, women, satyrs and putti. Ariadne lounges beside Bacchus whilst cupid hovers overhead holding a crown, symbolising their love. The procession continues around the body of the vase and to the reverse shows Silenus seated on the back of a donkey, as well as the three graces and satyrs carrying an incense burner.
The story of Bacchus and Ariadne from Ovid’s Metamorphoses tells how Ariadne, a princess from Crete, is abandoned on the Greek island of Naxos by her lover Theseus. She is discovered on the shore by the god Bacchus who fails in love with her at first sight and throws her jewelled crown into the sky to create a constellation, the Corona Borealis. Their wedding procession in a chariot drawn by cheetahs is a frenzy of wine, music and dance. The most celebrated representation of this seminal subject is Titian's ‘Bacchus and Ariadne’ (1522–1523) in the National Gallery, London.
