Bacante y fauno niño

Frederick William MacMonnies American
 Cast by Thiébaut frères French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 700

Esta obra es típica del dramático estilo academicista francés que dominó la escultura estadounidense a finales del siglo XIX. Una bacante, mujer licenciosa consagrada al dios del vino Baco, levanta en alto un racimo de uvas mientras que con el brazo izquierdo sostiene a un infante. La forma en espiral, rebosante de energía, y las superficies de rica textura crean un efecto de exuberancia. MacMonnies regaló este bronce al arquitecto Charles McKim, que lo colocó en el patio de la biblioteca pública de Boston, obra de su estudio de arquitectura. Los bostonianos criticaron la «ebria indecencia» de la estatua, motivo por el cual McKim la donó al Metropolitan Museum.
