Bacchus Of Wine Sculpture Reproduction By Michelangelo. In no other statue do we observe more concerning the character, the physical and mental state of the subject than in the depiction of this body. The backward drooping left shoulder, the listless tilt of the head, the utterly relaxed left arm clasping the bunch of grapes, the belly protruding above unsteady legs, the face transformed by a vacuous gaze, the parted lips, the expressionless features fixed upon the cup which is wearily supported by his right arm, all speak of a mind and body dulled by inebriation. To a classical form Michelangelo has added his own interpretation, displaying a marvelous sensitivity to the expressiveness of the human body. This replica makes a wonderful gift for the wine cellar.
