EDITORS COMMENTS
This marble print depicts the Roman god Bacchus, also known as Dionysus in Greek mythology, in the company of a satyr and a panther. Originating from the ancient Roman Villa of Pozzuoli, near Naples, Italy, this sculpture dates back to the 2nd century AD. Bacchus, the god of the grape harvest, is shown here in a relaxed and joyful state, holding a cup filled with wine. The presence of the satyr, a half-human, half-animal creature, and the panther, a symbol of Bacchus' power and fertility, underscores the god's connection to nature and the wild, untamed aspects of the natural world. Bacchus was a popular deity in both Roman and Greek mythology, and was often depicted in art and literature as a patron of wine, fertility, and theater. This sculpture, now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a testament to the enduring influence of ancient mythology on European art and culture. The intricate details of the marble carving, from the rippling muscles of the satyr to the lifelike features of Bacchus' face, speak to the skill and artistry of the Roman craftsmen who created it over 1,800 years ago. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Rome and Greece, transporting us back to a time when the gods were believed to be an integral part of everyday life.
