Raffinata scultura in bronzo – Figura Bacchanale (Bacco / Sileno) con serpente e portalampada
​
​Scultura in bronzo patinato – Bacco barbuto / Sileno con serpente – Stile Grand Tour / Neoclassico (XIX/XX secolo)

​Splendida ed elegante scultura figurativa in bronzo patinato scuro, ricca di forte simbologia dionisiaca e raffigurante Bacco nella sua iconografia matura (o Sileno, suo saggio precettore e compagno di corteo).
​Simbologia Bacchanale: Il volto espressivo e incorniciato da una folta barba è sormontato da una corona vegetale di foglie d'edera o vite. Con il braccio sinistro cinto da un serpente — classico simbolo legato ai culti e ai riti dionisiaci —, la figura sorregge un piatto circolare finemente decorato con motivi a palmette, concepito in origine come lucerna, portalampada o bruciaincenso.
​
Poggia su una solida base circolare lavorata a rilievo con motivi di pampini ed elementi vegetali. La fusione presenta una bellissima patina scura e una notevole resa anatomica dei muscoli e del drappeggio.
​
Opera di gran fascino decorativo, ispirata ai modelli della statuaria classica greco-romana e perfetta per collezionisti del genere Grand Tour e arte neoclassica.
