EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Bacchanale" by Alessandro Magnasco, an Italian Genoese artist from the 17th and 18th centuries. Painted around 1720-1730, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 118.1 x 148.6 cm (46 ½ x 58 ½ in. ). Magnasco's unique style is evident in this piece as he skillfully captures a lively scene of revelry and merriment. The Bacchanalian theme, derived from ancient Roman mythology, depicts a wild celebration associated with wine and indulgence. Intriguingly, Magnasco's brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and chaos within the composition. Figures are depicted in various states of ecstasy or abandon, their gestures animated and exaggerated. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the painting while enhancing its dramatic atmosphere. The vibrant colors employed by Magnasco further contribute to the overall energy of the scene; warm tones dominate as if reflecting both firelight and intoxication. This creates a dynamic contrast against darker hues that hint at hidden corners where debauchery unfolds. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness this bacchanalian spectacle firsthand – an immersive experience that allows us to appreciate not only Magnasco's technical prowess but also his ability to capture human emotions so vividly on canvas.
