EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us to the world of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and revelry. In this artwork by Gerard de Lairesse, Bacchus stands proudly in a lush landscape adorned with vine leaves and grapes. His crown symbolizes his divine status as he holds a thyrsus, an emblematic staff associated with his cult. In his hands, Bacchus delicately squeezes a bunch of grapes, allowing their succulent juice to flow into a bowl held by a maenade. The child sitting beside her eagerly reaches out to catch some of the grape nectar. This scene captures the essence of abundance and pleasure that Bacchus represents. The background reveals other maenads playing flutes, adding to the festive atmosphere surrounding Bacchus. Their music fills the air as they celebrate alongside him. This etching on paper dates back to 1675-1680 and showcases de Lairesse's skillful artistry in capturing both the physical beauty and mythological significance of Bacchus. The title "Bacchus Quam male Dive tuos effundis Bacche racemos" emphasizes how passionately Dionysian pleasures can overflow when indulged without restraint. This print from Liszt Collection invites us into an enchanting world where we can immerse ourselves in the intoxicating allure of wine, celebration, and uninhibited joy - all embodied by none other than Bacchus himself.
