COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:
F. Souchal, French Sculptors of the 17th and 18th Centuries, II Oxford, 1981, pp. 3 - 4, fig. 5.
Even though the two models in the present lot were originally of different origin, they were often together in the 18th century as a 'false pair.' The model by Louis Garnier (1638 - 1728), after which Bacchus was cast, is known to have existed at least as early as 1699, when another example was bought for Augustus the Strong of Saxony. Numerous other versions are known, often paired with Michel Anguier's Ariadne or his Amphitrite. Originally Amphitrite formed part of the series of the gods and goddesses by Michel Anguier (1612 - 1686), done in 1652.
A nearly identical pair was sold Christie's, Paris, 3 December 2003, lot 712.
