EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a lively and exuberant scene in London, 1789. Titled "Bacchanal Silenus Silenus" it captures the essence of revelry and merriment that characterized Bacchus' festivities. At the center of the image stands Silenus, a mythical figure known for his drunkenness. Supported by satyrs and bacchants, he stumbles forward in a joyous procession. The air is filled with music as musicians accompany this raucous celebration. The artist, Charles Howard Hodges, skillfully portrays the chaos and energy of this bacchanal without Bacchus himself. Through his etching on paper, measuring an impressive 435 mm in height and 577 mm in width, Hodges brings to life a moment frozen in time. As we gaze at this remarkable print, we are transported into an ancient world where inhibitions are shed and pure ecstasy reigns supreme. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our daily lives, there is room for uninhibited joy and revelry. This print from the Liszt Collection offers us not only an artistic masterpiece but also invites us to contemplate the timeless human desire for liberation through celebration. Let it inspire you to embrace your own inner Bacchant or Satyr as you navigate life's journey with unbridled enthusiasm!
