WHITE MARBLE OVAL PLAQUE. “CHILDREN FROM DIONYSUS’ RETINUE”.
Decoration - Marble Sculptures
Reference: M0093
Oval carved white marble plaque. “Children from the procession of Dionysus”. The three children are seated on a meadow. One holds a branch with bunches of grapes and vine leaves; the second puts an arm around his shoulder and holds a cup; the third joins his hands while looking at his companions. Because of the objects they carry, they can be related to the procession that accompanies the god Dionysus, also known as Bacchus. This type of theme, taken from classical mythology but not belonging to the main themes, was widely used in art from the 18th century onwards, especially.
