tracymar > I love this sculpture entitled A Bacchante, by Lorenzo Bartolini, sculpted in the early 19th century. One of my favorite paintings is of a Bacchante (by Mary Cassatt, displayed at the MFA in Boston several years ago), and I have looked for Bacchante art ever since. A bacchante is reveler at Bacchanalias (Dionysian festivals of often wild celebration). The Greek Bacchus is the Roman Dionysius.
