"Garden of Venus with Bacchus Squeezing Grapes" is an etching by Italian Baroque artist Giacinto Gimignani, dating back to 1647. The print depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love, reclining in a garden setting surrounded by putti and the god Bacchus. Bacchus is shown squeezing grapes into a large bowl, while Venus stretches her arm out towards the viewer. The piece is characterized by its intricate detail, strong lines, and dramatic use of light and shadow. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
