Bacante e fauno menino

Frederick William MacMonnies American
 Cast by Thiébaut frères French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 700

Esta obra é típica do dramático estilo acadêmico francês que dominou a escultura americana no final do século XIX. Uma bacante, mulher licenciosa consagrada ao deus do vinho Baco, levanta um cacho de uvas sobre sua cabeça, enquanto segura um bebê com o braço esquerdo. A forma em espiral, cheia de energia, e as superfícies ricamente texturizadas criam um efeito de exuberância. MacMonnies deu de presente este bronze ao arquiteto Charles McKim, que o colocou no pátio da Biblioteca Pública de Boston, obra de seu escritório de arquitetura. Os bostonianos criticaram a “indecência ébria” da estátua, motivo pelo qual McKim a doou ao Metropolitan Museum.
