Triumphal Procession of Bacchus 1572 - 1589

Jonas Silber's "Triumphal Procession of Bacchus," a circular etching created between 1572 and 1589, depicts a lively and detailed procession of Bacchic revelers. The composition is dominated by the figures of satyrs, maenads, and Bacchic followers, all intricately rendered within a border of foliage, architectural elements, and clouds. The etching is characteristic of Silber's highly detailed and dynamic style, demonstrating his masterful use of line to capture movement and form. The artwork is notable for its circular format, which would have likely been intended as a decorative element or design for a printed material.
