EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "Bacchanalia" created around 1615. Housed in the esteemed State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this painting is a testament to the artist's exceptional talent and his profound understanding of Baroque art. The image depicts a scene from Greek mythology known as a Bacchanalia, where followers of Dionysus (or Bacchus) engage in wild revelry and celebration. Rubens skillfully captures the essence of debauchery and drunkenness through his vibrant use of color and dynamic composition. In the midst of this chaotic scene, one can spot various figures including satyrs, silenus, and even a majestic lion. However, what truly stands out is the tender moment at the center - a mother breastfeeding her baby amidst all the revelry. This portrayal adds an unexpected touch of family life within an otherwise frenzied atmosphere. Rubens' mastery lies not only in his ability to depict nudity with grace but also in his attention to detail that brings each character to life. The lush forest setting further enhances the sense of enchantment surrounding this mythical gathering. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured on film, we are transported back to 17th-century Flanders where Rubens reigned supreme as one of its most celebrated artists. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the beauty and complexity that define Baroque art while immersing ourselves in ancient mythology brought vividly into
