About the Item

This charming pair of Neoclassical Bronze Bacchantes sculptures by Earnest Rancoulet originate from France, Circa 1900. These young and playful mythological figures are followers of Dionysus, engaging in rituals of dance and exuberance while clothed in animal skins. One can observe the vines depicted in the hair of each figure, as well as their musical instruments, one carrying a tambourine and the other what appear to be finger symbols. References to ancient Gods and spirits is commonly used by artists throughout history, often serving to lend traditional strength to their work as well as being able to push the boundaries of acceptable taste in their time period through cementing the figures to a widely accepted primal past. This clever historical slight of hand is put on full display in these stunning works. They feature beautifully sculpted figures in bronze, contraposed to reveal lively movement and stimulating form from all angles. The figures rest on matching Ionic Pedestals in Onyx with Gilt Neoclassical ormolu embellishment. Signed by the artist "Rancoulet" on the cylindrical bronze elements on each sculpture, this pair will serve as an excellent addition for those who collect and appreciate the finest of early 20th Century sculpture and bronze work.
