A TERRACOTTA GROUP OF BACCHUS AND ARIADNE, ATTRIBUTED TO GIUSEPPE PIAMONTINI (1664-1742)
This headless terracotta group forms part of the practice of the bozzetto, or preparatory model: certain areas are sketched, although finely modelled. Its subject and conception derive from the Bacchus and Ariadne by the Florentine artist Giuseppe Piamontini (1664–1732). Trained at the Academy of Arts in Rome (1681–1686), Piamontini enjoyed the favour of the Grand Prince Ferdinando de’ Medici and of discerning patrons such as the Electress Palatine.
The history of this model’s attribution warrants further discussion. At the time of the rediscovery in 1974 of a bronze of this composition, associated with a group of Venus and Cupid now housed at the National Gallery of Art, Washington (inv. 1974.18 ½), the ensemble was first attributed to Giambattista Foggini. This attribution was rapidly called into question following the discovery of a life-size marble group of Venus and Cupid, dated 1711 and signed by Giuseppe Piamontini, establishing his authorship of these compositions. This attribution was definitively confirmed by the discovery of a group of Bacchus and Ariadne, likewise signed by Piamontini and dated 1732.
In addition to the marble, now in a private collection, a bronze of this model is at the Getty Museum, Los Angeles (inv. 83.SB.333). While the Bacchus and Ariadne group at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, remains attributed to Foggini, its former pendant is, by contrast, given to Piamontini.
A thermoluminescence test carried out by the ARCADIA Laboratory in Milan in July 2021 confirms the dating period of our work.
