Bacchant, Satyr, and Fauness, from the Scherzi 1725 - 1780

This etching, "Bacchant, Satyr, and Fauness, from the Scherzi," by renowned Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, depicts a scene from classical mythology. The figures, a Bacchant, a Satyr, and a Fauness, are depicted in a playful and lively manner, characteristic of Tiepolo's Rococo style. The etching, created between 1725 and 1780, displays Tiepolo's mastery of line and detail, bringing a sense of energy and movement to the composition. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into the world of classical mythology through Tiepolo's unique artistic vision.
