Bacchus als god van de wijn 1616

This engraving by Pieter Serwouters, titled "Bacchus als god van de wijn" (Bacchus as God of Wine), depicts the Roman god of wine and revelry in a lush, vine-filled landscape. Bacchus, crowned with grape leaves, sits upon a wine barrel, his hand reaching for grapes on a nearby vine. He is surrounded by symbols of his domain: a wine press, grapes, and a drum, hinting at the joyous celebrations associated with Bacchus. The engraving, dated 1616, is a fine example of Baroque-era printmaking, showcasing detailed and expressive lines, and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
