EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite porcelain sculpture titled "Bacchus and Venus" created by Friedrich Elias I Meyer in 1755 at the renowned Tournay Factory in Belgium. The piece, now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, is a true testament to Meyer's artistic prowess. In this masterpiece, we witness two prominent figures from Roman mythology come to life. Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry, stands tall with his chiseled physique and flowing locks. His presence exudes an air of confidence and celebration. Beside him stands Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Her graceful form radiates elegance as she gazes upon Bacchus with adoration. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this porcelain figurine captures every nuance of their mythical personas. The pure white hue adds a touch of ethereal beauty to these divine beings. Transporting us back to the 18th century, this artwork represents a significant era in art history - where sculptors like Meyer pushed boundaries through their skillful craftsmanship. With its delicate features and intricate design elements, "Bacchus and Venus" continues to captivate viewers even today. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional photography skills, we can appreciate every fine detail that makes this sculpture truly remarkable.
