Quick Summary

Bacchus
Bacchus Bacchus, marble statue by Jacopo Sansovino, c. 1514; in the Bargello, Florence.

Jacopo Sansovino, a sculptor and architect of the High Renaissance, created a marble statue of Bacchus around 1514. This work, along with his St. James the Elder, showcases his early style. Sansovino later moved to Venice, where he became a prominent architect, influencing the city's urban landscape with projects like the Library of St. Mark's. While his Venetian works show a mature style, his early Bacchus reflects the influence of his master, Andrea Sansovino, and the broader artistic trends of the period.12
