Bacchante and Satyress Dancing with Children

Clodion (Claude Michel) French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 553

Clodion, in Italy between 1762 and 1771 and again in 1773–74, cultivated an international clientele eager for his spirited evocations of classical antiquity in terracotta. He modeled this bucolic fantasy while selecting marbles from the quarries at Carrara in 1773.
