WHITE MARBLE OVAL PLAQUE. “CHILDREN FROM DIONYSUS’ RETINUE”.
Decoration -
Reference: M0093
Oval plaque in carved white marble. “Children of the retinue of Dionysus”. The three children are seated in a meadow. One holds a branch with bunches of grapes and vine leaves; the second has an arm draped over his shoulder and holds a cup; the third clasps his hands as he looks at his companions. Based on the objects they carry, they can be associated with the retinue of the god Dionysus, also known as Bacchus. This type of subject matter, drawn from classical mythology but not belonging to its main themes, was widely used in art, especially from the 18th century onward.
