Daughter of Bacchus

This sculpture represents one of the daughters of Bacchus, the god of wine. The figure, created in patinated bronze and raised on a marble base, is inspired by the dance of the priestesses or “bacchanals”, in which the “daughters of Bacchus” spent entire nights dancing naked in a state of ecstasy. This work is a clear example of the deep interest that mythological themes aroused during the Art Deco period.
