Escuela europea - Sculpture

Baco niño – European School – ca. 1750–1800 Era: 18th century, ca. 1750–1800 Origin: European School Material: Carved wood Measurements: 31 × 14 × 10 cm Wooden carved sculpture depicting Bacchus (Dionysus), the deity of wine, the vine, and fertility in classical mythology. The figure features a child’s face with rounded features and a serene expression, crowned with grapevine leaves and bunches of grapes, characteristic attributes of Bacchus. He wears a garment of classical inspiration, arranged in drapery around the body. The work shows careful sculptural execution, especially noticeable in the treatment of the face, hair, and botanical elements. Its aesthetic aligns with European Baroque decorative tradition. This type of representation could also form part of allegorical ensembles devoted to the four seasons, associating Bacchus with autumn and the harvest. Condition It shows losses of both arms, cracks and wear typical of its age. Darkened surface and a mounting hole on the lower rear part, possibly related to its original mounting. Also a crack that divides the body in two and is glued.
