The bull is vital — life in his body, in a nature so primordial and essential. He represents Dionysus, fertility, the god of wine. On the oval bezel of the Lumen ring that vitality reveals itself in a placid, gathered moment. The gilded bronze frame holds him, the enamel clothes him — and here the myth unveils itself: bordeaux is the colour of wine, of the grape, an intriguing echo of Dionysus himself. The volumes of the body are full, the legs crossing in a steady, composed and measured gesture.
The ring has soft volumes, followed by the sheen of the enamel. The colour captures the light and holds it — and with it lives the animal. He is an intimate bull, contained in his strength, an incarnation of Bacchus. The bordeaux surface is smooth and glossy, the bezel gilded all around — a solid, full and dense presence, felt at the touch. The relief surfaces with clarity: the bull can be read from head to flank, in every detail of the intaglio.
Blue is magnificent beside this dense red — colours that meet with a natural fullness, and the animal receives from them a composed and full strength. The accord of this pairing is felt at first glance. Yellow lights him and warms him, bringing immediate light and energy — his most solar expression. Sand is in tune with the quietness — the deity contained and never exaggerated. Green recalls the vine tendrils around the body, the vine leaves that crown him — a consonance that is always beautiful, two colours speaking to each other with ease.

Bacchus was the son of Jupiter, by Semele, daughter of the king of Thebes, in whose city he is said to have been born. He was the god of good-cheer, wine, and hilarity; and of him, as such, the poets have not been sparing in their praises: on all occasions of mirth and jollity, they constantly invoked his presence, and as constantly thanked him for the blessings he bestowed. To him they ascribed the forgetfulness of cares, and the delights of social interaction. He is described as a youth of a plump figure, naked, with a ruddy face, and an effeminate air; he is crowned with ivy and vine leaves, and bears in his hand a thyrsus, or javelin with an iron head, encircled with ivy and vine leaves: his chariot is sometimes drawn by lions, at other times by tigers, leopards, or panthers, and is surrounded by a band of Satyrs, Bacchae, and Nymphs. The women who accompanied him as his priestesses were called Maenads, from their madness; Thyades, from their impetuosity; Bacchae, from their intemperate depravity; and Mimallones, or Mimallonides, from their mimicking their leaders.
