“The female form was one of René Lalique’s most constant sources of inspiration throughout his career. The Bacchantes correspond to the Maenads of Greek mythology. The young priestesses of Bacchus – depicted naked in a bas-relief, performing a round dance to celebrate the god of wine, the vine and excess – exude a haunting aura of sensuality.” ~ Musée Lalique
