Frederick Arthur Bridgman La Fête des Bois, Les Bacchantes 1897

About the Item

Frederick Arthur Bridgman La Fête des Bois, Les Bacchantes signed F.A. Bridgman (lower left) oil on canvas Dimensions: Height: 73" Width: 150" ( 185.4cm x 381cm) La fête des bois, les bacchantes imagines a celebratory procession of flower-crowned revelers parading joyfully through the woods. Bridgman exhibited a near identical version, approximately one third of its size, at the Paris Salon of 1896, no. 311 (for illustration, see Sotheby's, February 12, 1997, lot 71). The painting certainly raised eyebrows and stirred feisty commentary when it was exhibited at London's Royal Academy.
