Bas-reliëf met bacchanaal 1636 - 1647

"Bas-reliëf met bacchanaal" is a 17th-century engraving by Valérien Regnard, a French artist known for his detailed renderings of classical subjects. This small-scale work, measuring only 225 mm by 239 mm, depicts a bacchanal scene with figures dancing and playing amidst foliage. The intricate details of the figures and the background suggest a lively and celebratory atmosphere. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, contributes to the illusion of depth and realism. This engraving, dating from 1636 to 1647, provides a glimpse into Regnard's artistry and the fascination with classical mythology during the Baroque period.
