The God of Wine and Revelry
Meet Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, ecstasy, and divine intoxication. Known to the Greeks as Dionysus, he was the son of Zeus and the god of the vine—patron of winemakers, theatre, and joyous celebration. This magnificent Grand Tour statue captures the god in a moment of delightful abandon.
A Moment of Divine Indulgence
This charming sculpture depicts Bacchus spilling his goblet of wine, looking as though he may have had quite enough for the evening. At his feet rests an empty wine ewer—evidence of a thoroughly enjoyed feast. The playful, humanized portrayal of the god reflects the Grand Tour tradition of bringing classical mythology to life with wit, character, and narrative charm.
Exquisite Detail Throughout
Every inch of this statue is detailed with the symbols of Bacchus's domain. Grapes on the vine cascade across the sculpture, celebrating the bounty of the harvest and the god's gift of wine to humanity. The craftsmanship is exceptional, capturing both the classical ideal and the personality of this beloved deity.
Grand Tour Elegance
In the tradition of the Grand Tour—when European aristocrats travelled to Italy to acquire classical art and culture—this statue embodies the refined taste and classical education that defined the era. It brings the romance of 18th and 19th-century collecting into the modern age.
Impressive Scale with Ornate Plinth
Standing over six feet tall when mounted on its separate ornate plinth, this is a commanding presence that transforms any space. The beautifully detailed base complements the figure perfectly, elevating Bacchus to his rightful place of honour.
