Cappé Giuseppe Triumph of Bacchus in White and Gold Porcelain 1962. A bacchanal crafted in glazed white and gold porcelain, signed and dated on the reverse. The Triumph of Bacchus is an extraordinary sculptural work that captures the essence of a festive and celebratory moment. The sculptural group represents a vibrant wedding procession in which Bacchus, the god of wine, and Arianna, his bride, are the center of attention. Bacchus, with his imposing and perfect figure, raises a golden chalice to the beautiful Arianna, while on his side a large amphora is ready to pour good wine, a symbol of conviviality and joy. Alongside the newlyweds, a dancing figure playing the lyre adds a further element of liveliness to the scene, while four putti, rendered with incomparable sweetness and joy, complete the procession. Note the perfect anatomy; every detail is finished with an artistic precision that gives each character a unique and vital expression. The base, adorned with a golden Greek key pattern, gives stability to the work and enhances its beauty. The porcelains of the Lombard artist Giuseppe Cappé (Cittiglio-VA 1921 - Lomagna-LC 2008), recognized as among the most prestigious in Italian artistic tradition, are inspired by the great masters of Neapolitan Baroque, Neoclassical, and Renaissance art. The artist's genius translates into a work that expresses movement, expressiveness, and incredible refinement in its details, making "The Triumph of Bacchus" an authentic masterpiece of inimitable beauty. This antique porcelain sculpture is in excellent state of preservation.
