Titelprent met jonge bacchanten bij een boom 1599 - 1647

This anonymous etching, "Titelprent met jonge bacchanten bij een boom," depicts a scene from Roman mythology. It showcases a group of bacchants, followers of the god Bacchus, frolicking in a wooded landscape. The image features a central figure of a young bacchant scaling a tree, while others around him engage in various playful activities. The composition is characterized by its dynamic energy and the detailed rendering of the figures and the surrounding foliage. The print, likely part of a series, is a charming example of the artistic expression of bacchanalian themes in 17th-century Netherlands.
