"Bacchus and a Nymph with a Child and Grapes" is a terracotta sculpture by the French artist Clodion (Claude Michel). Created between 1785-1805, the piece depicts the Roman god of wine, Bacchus, embracing a nymph with a child and grapes, highlighting themes of love, nature, and fertility. The sculpture's lifelike and emotive figures exemplify Clodion's mastery of the Rococo style, characterized by graceful curves, delicate details, and playful imagery. This terracotta artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, embodies the classical and mythological motifs prevalent in 18th-century French art.
