DISH “BACCHUS”. NEO-RENAISSANCE, IN THE MANNER OF JOHANN MICHAEL MAUCHER (1645–1701) GERMANY, 19TH CENTURY

DISH “BACCHUS”. NEO-RENAISSANCE, IN THE MANNER OF JOHANN MICHAEL MAUCHER (1645–1701) GERMANY, 19TH CENTURY

A magnificent Neo-Renaissance decorative dish executed in carved ivory inlaid on a wooden support, created in the manner of the works of the eminent German master Johann Michael Maucher (1645–1701). The composition forms a complex and carefully conceived ensemble with a rich mythological programme, drawing upon themes of Classical antiquity characteristic of Renaissance decorative arts and reinterpreted in the 19th century.The central medallion is adorned with a relief depiction of Dionysus (Bacchus) drinking from a cup, accompanied by his followers and a goat as a traditional attribute of wine worship, set against a forest landscape with vine tendrils. Radiating from the centre are eight oval cartouches forming a continuous narrative cycle. These depict the contest between Marsyas and Apollo judged by King Midas; Zeus seducing Callisto; Callisto exposed and punished by Diana; Zeus rescuing Callisto and placing her among the stars as Ursa Major; the abduction of Proserpina by Pluto; the advances of a satyr towards a nymph; Actaeon punished by Diana for voyeurism; and the abduction of the nymph Io by Zeus concealed in a cloud.The carved relief displays a high level of artistic refinement. Finely modelled figures, fluid drapery and a wealth of subsidiary motifs lend the composition depth and rhythmic harmony. The brass binding hoops serve both structural and decorative functions, enhancing the architectural coherence of the form. The reverse is executed in dark-stained wood, revealing the traces of hand craftsmanship.Material: Carved ivory, wood, brass, deer antler.Dimensions: Diameter 46.5 cm.Weight: 2700 g.Condition: Good. Minor age-related surface changes consistent with the period. No losses, cracks or later interventions observed.Provenance: Probably Germany, 19th century.
