# Bacchus [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GIAMBOLOGNA]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Bronze ## Commentary For half a century Giambologna dominated Florentine sculpture, carving an ever more impressive series of statue groups in marble. In addition, he produced several extraordinary bronze statues, among them Bacchus \(1560-61\). Giambologna adopted for his god of wine a new physical type, older, more muscular and generally more heroic than the Bacchuses earlier Renaissance sculptors had produced. ## Related artworks - [Abduction Scene]() - [Allegory of Astronomy]() - [Allegory of Francesco I de' Medici]() - [Allegory of Prince Francesco I de Medici]() - [Altar of Liberty]() - [Altar of Liberty]() - [Angel]() - [Apollo]() - [Appenine \(detail\)]() - [Appenine]() - [Appenine]() - [Architecture]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
