Triumph of Bacchus 1610 - 1642

"Triumph of Bacchus" is an etching by Pierre Brebiette, a prominent French artist of the early 17th century. Created between 1610 and 1642, the artwork portrays a scene of bacchanalia, a revelry dedicated to the Roman god Bacchus. The print captures the joyous chaos of a procession, featuring numerous figures, animals, and symbols associated with wine and revelry. This etching, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies Brebiette's mastery of detail and skill in capturing the spirit of classical mythology.
