Description:
|
|
Neo-Attic refers to the style of sculptors in the Roman Empire of the first century BCE to the second century CE who copied Classical Greek sculpture. Three maenads (followers of Dionysus) have just completed the sacrifice that allows initiates to unite with the god by drinking the victims’ blood. Now, grasping parts of the dismembered animals, they whirl in an orgiastic dance. The iconography derives from a series created in Athens by Kallimachos on the occasion of the performance of Euripides' Bacchae in 406/405 BCE. The subject enjoyed such success in the Roman world that such scenes became typical in Neo-Attic art. (Source: Museo Barracco di Scultura Antica [website]; http://www.museobarr acco.it/en/)
