Description
Spectacular stone relief from Vicenza depicting Bacchus, Italy, Venice, 18th–19th century Vicenza stone, carved in high relief. Dimensions: 131 × 60 × 15 cm. This spectacular bas-relief, carved in Vicenza stone, depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and fertility, one of the most frequently depicted deities in classical tradition and the Italian ornamental repertoire. From a private collection in Venice, the work stands out for the extraordinary quality of its execution, the expressive power of the modelling, and the exquisite anatomical rendering of the figure, masterfully achieved through carving of great depth and sculptural richness. The nobility of Vicenza stone, widely used since the Renaissance in Italian architecture and sculpture for its strength and beauty, lends the piece an elegant, monumental presence. Its generous dimensions and balanced proportions allow it to be integrated into interiors, gardens, courtyards or façades, where it serves as a prominent decorative element of classical inspiration. The sculptural quality, excellent state of preservation, and scarcity of works of this kind on the market make this relief a piece of considerable interest to collectors and historical architectural projects. It is in excellent overall condition and is completely intact. This lot is held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
