About the Item

Meissen quite rare figurine group: the so-said German Bacchus Excellently painted & modelled (the details are stunningly sculptured = finest modelling) Design: -- Johann Carl Schoenheit (1730-1805) Schoenheit has been active at Meissen manufactory since year 1745 / as from 1765 the sculptor designed own models. He was assistant of Kaendler in earlier period / Schoenheit was colleague, too, of Acier in later period. He retired in 1794. - Model D 13 created in year 1770. Made: circa 1880 Meissen blue sword mark with pommels on hilts (glazed bottom) Model number D 13 / former's number 42 First quality Specification: This figurine group is a very interesting interpretation of ancient legend deriving from Greek mythology, concerning the Greek God of Wine - Bacchus: A male figurine has taken place on a wine barrel, holding up a glass of red wine as well as seizing a bottle - the man seems to have great pleasure with his carousing. Additionally, the merry reveler is accompanied by a boyish satyr playing trumpet - it hides behind man's back. A little girl kneels in front of wine barrel, turning the spigot in order to put wine into a bottle. A little boy is busy with taking notes into a book / he has shouldered a small wine jug. - This figurines' group is called 'German Bacchus' since the merry reveler here isn't a figurine of ancient times but a Rococo man wearing a wig and clad in Rococo garments / the children accompanying him are clad in Rococo style, too. The figurines are attached to elliptic base edged by Rocaille ornaments. Measures: Height 21.0 cm (= 8.26 inches) Width of base 14.0 cm (= 5.51 inches) Total depth 11.5 cm (= 4.52 inches) Bibliography: Sabine & Thomas Bergmann, Meissener Figuren / Meissen Figures, Bergmann (Erlangen, Germany) 2014, catalogue number 14 on page 28. Condition: Excellent / there aren't any damages existing.
