Bacchanaal 1642 - 1657

Bartolomeo Biscaino's etching "Bacchanaal" (1642-1657) depicts a lively scene of bacchanalian revelry. The composition features a group of figures, including a satyr holding a cup, a woman with a child, and a mischievous cherub, all situated amongst trees and foliage. This work showcases the artist's skill in depicting the human form with detail and dynamism. The etching's delicate lines and hatching techniques create a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Italian Baroque art.
