Lot 21 | Bronzerelief des auf einem Panther reitenden Dionysos, hellenistisch, 1. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Bronzerelief des auf einem Panther reitenden Dionysos, hellenistisch, 1. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Großes und besonders aufwendig gestaltetes Bronzerelief des Dionysos, der auf einem Panther reitet. Der Gott mit weiblichen Zügen und Gewändern sitzt seitlich auf der großen Raubkatze. Auf der linken Schulter ist das für ihn typische Fell verknotet. Er hat einen Mantel um die Hüfte gebunden, der faltenreich bis an seinen Knöchel herabfällt. Dionysos hat das rechte Bein über das linke geschlagen und leicht nach vorne gestreckt. An den Füßen trägt er fein gearbeitete Sandalen. Das lange Haar ist mittig gescheitelt und fällt ihm hinten in den Nacken. Ein mit Trauben verziertes Band hält das Haar zusammen. Der Panther hat seinen Kopf mit weit aufgerissenem Maul und aufgestellten Ohren zur Seite gedreht und blickt in dieselbe Richtung wie sein Herr. Der Backenbart ist fein ziseliert, die vertieften Augen trugen wohl einst Einlagen.
Das gesamte Relief ist detailreich in Kaltarbeit verziert. Reste von Vergoldung sind vor allem noch am Pantherkopf erkennbar. Das Relief schmückte als Applike wohl einst ein hochwertiges Möbel. Vergleiche zur femininen Darstellung des pantherreitenden Dionysos mit annähernd gleichen Gewändern und Haaren das Mosaik aus dem Haus der Masken im Archäologischen Museum in Delos. Gesockelt. Höhe 18,4 cm. Rückseitig stellenweise stabilisiert, insgesamt ein Fragment von herausragender Qualität.
Provenienz: Verkauft in der A.G. Auktion 56 in Basel, "Kunstwerke der antiken Münzen und Medaillen", am 19. Februar 1980, Los 159. Dort erworben für die archäologische Sammlung des Künstlers Bernard Gantner (1928 - 2018). Ausgestellt von 1993 - 2013 im Musée Gantner im ostfranzösischen Ort Lachapelle-sous-Chaux. Zuletzt versteigert am 19. Januar 2014 bei Osenat, Los 20.
A Hellenistic bronze relief of Dionysus riding a panther, 1st century B.C.
A Hellenistic bronze relief of Dionysus riding a panther, 1st century B.C.
Large and very elaborately worked out bronze relief of Dionysus riding a panther. The god with feminine features and female clothes sits sideways on the cat of prey. The fur, typical of him, knotted around the left shoulder. He has a coat wrapped around the hips, cascading in full pleats to his ankles. Dionysus has the right leg over the left one and slightly stretched forward. The feet wearing finely worked out sandals. His long hair is parted in the centre and falls in the back to his nape. A fillet decorated with grapes holds the hair together. The panther has its head with mouth wide open and raised ears turned to the side, facing in the same direction as his master. The whisker is finely chiseled, the deepened eyes once held inlays.
The entire relief is decorated in detail in cold work. Remains of gilding are especially recognizable on the head of the panther. The relief possibly decorated as an appliqué of some high-quality furniture. See for the female depiction of Dionysus riding a panther with nearly the same clothes and hair the mosaic from the House of Masks in the Archaeological Museum in Delos. Mounted. Height 18.4 cm. At the back stabilized in some areas, overall a fragment of excellent quality.
