myminifactory

This breathtakingly beautiful marble bust captures the essence of Dionysus, the revered deity who oversaw the grape harvest, winemaking, fertility, ritual madness, ecstatic worship, and theatrical performances in ancient Greek mythology. Distinguished as 'Farnese,' it was a prized possession within the esteemed Farnese collection, one of Rome's most renowned antiquities repositories. This exceptional gathering has undergone relocation and is now proudly showcased at Naples.
