This print, created by the Monogrammist MP between 1680 and 1800, depicts three scenes from the life of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry. In the top scene, Bacchus punishes a man who has destroyed a vineyard, while the middle scene shows Bacchus rescuing Ariadne from the island of Naxos. The bottom scene depicts Bacchus and the sleeping Cupid. The print, with its delicate lines and use of light and shadow, showcases the monogrammist's skillful mastery of the etching technique.
