"Amor og Bacchus" is a 1879 sculpture by Danish artist Wilhelm Runeberg (1838-1920) currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The sculpture depicts two cherubs, one holding a cup and the other a jug, perched on a dolphin. The figures are sculpted in a realistic style, capturing the playful innocence of youth. The piece embodies the themes of love and celebration, referencing the Roman gods of love and wine, Cupid and Bacchus, respectively. The dolphin, a symbol of the sea and its mysteries, adds an element of intrigue and depth to the composition.
