The Triumph of Bacchus 1534 - 1544

Georg Pencz's "The Triumph of Bacchus" is a striking engraving depicting the Roman god of wine and revelry. The work's dynamic composition showcases Bacchus riding a chariot pulled by a centaur, with other figures participating in the celebration. Pencz's detailed and refined style, characteristic of the Northern Renaissance, is evident in the intricate rendering of the figures and their attire. This print, created between 1534 and 1544, is a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring allure of Classical mythology.
