Terrakotta, gefasst und zartfarben bemalt. Lebensgroße Büsten der mythologischen Gestalten Bacchus und seiner Gefährtin Ariadne. Die Büsten jeweils mit jugendlichen Gesichtern, auf den Häuptern ein Blattkranz mit Trauben bzw. Efeukranz, was die Bedeutung für den Bacchus- und Dionysoskult anspricht. Um die Schultern jeweils ein Tuch gelegt, was insgesamt die Annäherung an Cäsarenbüsten andeuten will. Die quadratischen Sockel eingezogen und mit Blattfries dekoriert. Entsprechend der Thematik sowie der Ausführung dürften die beiden Büsten wohl ehemals in Wandnischen eines Grottensaals aufgestellt worden sein.

Pair of life-size bacchant busts
Height: 84 cm each.
Italy, 17th/ 18th century.
Terracotta, primed and painted in soft colours. Life-size busts of the mythological creatures of Bacchus and his companion Ariadne. Both busts with youthful faces and a wreath with foliage and grapes and ivy respectively. This addresses the importance of the Bacchus and Dionysus cult. Both busts with a cloth draped around their shoulders, overall hinting at the similarity with Caesar busts. The square base is drawn- in and decorated with a foliage frieze.
