EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Bacchus, from Game of Mythology (Jeu de la Mythologie), 1644" by Stefano della Bella. The image, dating back to the 17th century, captures the essence of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry. In this etching, Bacchus is depicted as a powerful male figure with an air of divine authority. He stands amidst a lush grapevine backdrop, symbolizing abundance and fertility. Clutching a bunch of grapes in one hand and holding a goblet in the other, he exudes an aura of intoxicating allure. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate folds of Bacchus' robe to his commanding gaze that seems to invite viewers into his world. A majestic leopard rests at his feet, representing both his wild nature and association with exoticism. Stefano della Bella skillfully captures the spirit of Greek mythology through this masterpiece. The print transports us back in time to an era where gods walked among mortals and indulgence was celebrated. Displayed at The Metropolitian Museum, this artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into ancient beliefs and customs surrounding wine-drinking rituals. It reminds us that throughout history, alcohol has played a significant role in human culture - connecting people across time and continents. "Bacchus" is more than just an art piece; it represents our fascination with myth
