There are 2 main variants of this model: one in which Morgante is depicted as the personification of Bacchus, holding a wine cup in his outstretched right hand and a bunch of grapes in his left; the other in which Morgante holds a cornetto in his right hand, while leaning on a stick held in his left (for a complete version of this, see Victoria and Albert Museum, London, no. 65-1865). The present bronze is a derivation of the first variant, with the figure holding a wine cup in his right hand. reference term-120952 adlib-term-120952 f836b810-8517-3c2c-948a-b6c894c219bf 16th Century, Mid-17th Century, Early reference term-106508 adlib-term-106508 f7f1399b-d092-3a3d-8f96-c3aee3ad8fd5 literal Italy Italy country Florence reference term-40365 adlib-term-40365 d79c75c2-da7b-3187-918e-f7a374e04005 bronze Height cm 13.5 reference media-12135 adlib-media-12135 f2879f69-27a6-3280-88b7-5f8a97fd08a1 jpeg aa/aa20/M_11_1997.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 525 1616285362661 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_M_11_1997.jpg 1 height pixels 724 width pixels 500 1616285362661 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_11_1997.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 525 1616285362661 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_11_1997.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 250 1616285362661 1 image 0 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Leitch & Kerin by 15 Sept. 1937, when purchased (invoice: £35) by Lt Col. the Hon.
