Jean-Léon GÉRÔME (Vesoul, 1824 - Paris, 1904) Anacréon, Bacchus et l'Amour Bronze print pasted and signed. Founder: "F.BARBEDIENNE, Founder ". Stamp "Mechanical reduction / A. Colas / Patented". Height. 73.5 cm. Anacreon, Bacchus and Love in bronze by Gérome, edited by Barbedienne. Bibliography : model reproduced in Florence RIONNET, Les bronzes Barbedienne.

Here Gérome reinterprets a subject he proposed in painting as early as 1848 (Musée des Beaux-Arts de Toulouse). Against the backdrop of a bachic festival, Anacréon, crowned with myrtle, plays a seven-stringed lyre surrounded by Bacchus and Love. The two children embody the hedonism of Greece's most famous lyric poet, author of the "Anacreontic Odes". This bronze was published by Barbedienne from 1878-1881. Automatically translated by DeepL.
