About the Item
Italian 19th century Grand Tour Bronze Figure of Satyr With Infant Dionysus. The Satyr, often associated with music, mischief, and sensual pleasure, is shown with one arm cradling Dionysus. Dionysus is shown as an ethereal, cherubic child clutching a cluster of grapes emphasizing his divine connection to nature, fruitfulness, and intoxication. This bronze sculpture represents the delicate balance of playful, sensual energy and classical beauty. Bronze base is 5"W and total sculpture weight is 12.5lbs. Signed on the base.
The Italian Grand Tour was a cultural trip undertaken by young European aristocrats, primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries, in order to complete their education. Italy, with its rich history, art, and culture, was the focal point of these journeys. As part of their exploration, many travelers collected art and artifacts, including bronze sculptures, often as a symbol of their refined taste and as souvenirs from their travels. In essence, the collection of bronze sculptures during the Italian Grand Tour was a reflection of the era’s fascination with antiquity and the cultural and intellectual ideals of the time. Today, many of these works remain valuable examples of the intersection of art, history, and travel.
