The effigy of Bacchus. Paris France

**The fountain of Dalou** Work of the sculptor Aimé-Jules Dalou (1838-1902), this fountain bears a medallion with the effigy of Bacchus, Roman god of wine and drunkenness; here in the beautiful company of women named Bacchantes, he celebrates an oh so mythical plant: the vine! A replica of this plaster medallion is in the Petit Palais museum. Son of glove-makers, Dalou became a major figure in 19th-century French sculpture. Paris owes him works such as the Monument to Alphand (avenue Foch) or the Triumph of the Republic (place de la Nation) which conveys his humanist values. An artist engaged during La Commune, he was provisional administrator of the Louvre in 1871. Source translated from French to English by Google translator.
