Flora en Bacchus after 1633

"Flora en Bacchus" is an etching created by an anonymous artist after 1633 and is now held in the Rijksmuseum. The etching depicts Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, being crowned with a garland of flowers by two nymphs. Bacchus, the god of wine, stands in the background holding a staff, a symbol of his power. The scene is set in a garden, with a classical building in the background, highlighting the popular theme of Roman mythology in art. The fine lines and detailed shading characteristic of etchings create a sense of depth and realism in this small yet intricate artwork.
