This exquisite sculpture, meticulously carved from precious white Italian marble, portrays the head of a young Bacchus, the Roman deity celebrated for his connections to wine, grape harvests, and the pleasures of the senses. Created in the first half of the 20th century, this piece reflects the enduring allure of Bacchus as a subject in art, embraced by many of history’s most renowned artists.
The sculpture exemplifies exceptional artistic quality, showcasing meticulous attention to detail in the facial features and proportions, which reveal a profound understanding of sculptural techniques. Although the work is unsigned, its craftsmanship speaks for itself. It is in excellent condition, with only a subtle line of blue color visible beneath the chin (as illustrated in the accompanying photographs). This slight imperfection is located in an area that remains obscured when displayed, ensuring the overall impact of the piece is not diminished.
Accompanied by a striking black marble base, this base not only highlights the purity of the white marble but also enhances its overall aesthetic appeal. Rich in classical elegance, this piece would make a distinguished addition to any private art collection, offering both visual beauty and a tangible connection to the timeless tradition of sculpture. Don’t miss the opportunity to acquire this captivating work of art, which is sure to be a conversation starter and a cherished centerpiece in your collection.
