Triomf van Bacchus 1659 - 1700

"Triomf van Bacchus" (Triumph of Bacchus) is a black and white drawing depicting a scene from Roman mythology. Godfried Maes, a Flemish artist, created this artwork in the late 17th century. The artwork showcases the god Bacchus, a figure of revelry and wine, riding in a chariot drawn by satyrs, surrounded by dancers and revelers. The composition, full of movement and energy, portrays Bacchus's exuberant and celebratory nature. This artwork, measuring 180 mm by 241 mm, is a testament to Maes's mastery of drawing and his ability to capture the essence of classical mythology.
