A refined tribute to late Renaissance sculpture, this bust depicts the wise and bearded Silenus, loyal companion and tutor of the young Bacchus. The figure is inspired by the celebrated marble group “Silenus with the Infant Bacchus”, housed in the renowned Uffizi Gallery in Florence and sculpted towards the end of the 16th century. His serene and introspective expression, framed by a lush beard and crowned with grape leaves, evokes both mythological dignity and human tenderness.
Faithfully reproduced in aged-effect plaster, the bust captures every sculptural nuance — from the fluid curls of his hair to the textured depth of the foliage — conveying a strong sense of movement and realism. The antique patina enhances its classical charm, recalling the noble imperfection of time-worn marble.
The base is crafted from powder-coated steel, meticulously wrapped in fine leather with contrasting hand stitching. This contemporary element enriches the historical narrative of the piece, making it ideal for modern interiors with a taste for timeless culture.
More than a decorative object, this bust is a dialogue between mythology, history, and fine Italian craftsmanship — a statement of elegance and storytelling.
