Masterpiece Story: Michelangelo’s Bacchus
This is bacchus michelangelo sculpture. Bacchus wears a crown of grapes on his head and holds a bowl of wine in his hands, his eyes are blurry, his body is trying to keep his balance. Little Satir, with a leg of lamb, was stealing grapes while the god of wine drunk.
The God of Wine
Bacchus is the ancient Roman god of wine, pleasure, and fertility. He is the son of Zeus and Semele, and the equivalent of the Greek Dionysus. Bacchus may depicted along with his entourage of Maenads or Bacchae and satyrs. These were impish beings who accompanied Bacchus on his debauchery.
The depiction of Bacchus was a prominent choice for many artists starting from ancient Greece and during the Renaissance. Although the portrayals of Bacchus have varied greatly depending on the artist’s imagination, the iconography of the god of wine unsurprisingly included grapes, ivy leaves, and wine.
Details of Bacchus Michelangelo Sculpture
Bacchus Michelangelo Sculpture is a large, life-size work. It stands at about 6’6″ tall (203 cm), 2’4″ wide (76 cm), and close to 3′ (86 cm) deep. The marble mined from the elite and highly sought-after quarries of Carrara.
Michelangelo depicted his Bacchus in the iconic wreath of grapes with an androgynous body that is just past its prime to emphasize the ill effects of excessive wine consumption. Bacchus raises a precariously-grasped cup in his right hand and lion’s skin, along with a cluster of grapes, in his left.
