Description
English: Plaster sculpture, Bacchus, cast plaster sculpture of the Greek figure Bacchus, god of wine. Plinth made of wood and painted grey. From printed plaque on plinth, 'YOUNG BACCHUS - Bacchus- this statue is supposed to be of Greek origin, and is now preserved in one of the collections at Rome. It represents Bacchus, the youthful and beautiful, but effeminate god of wine, the inventor and teacher of its cultivation, the giver of joy, and the dispenser of grief and sorrow. Bacchus is usually shown crowned with wine and ivy leaves, and with a bunch of grapes in his hand. The panther was sacred to him, because in most of his journeys he went covered with a skin of that animal. Bacchus was always a favorite subject among sculptors of antiquity.'
