"A Bacchanal" is a 16th-century engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi. This work depicts the wild revelry of a bacchanal, with a central scene of Silenus being supported by two bacchants. To the right, a reclining female satyr engages with a statue of Priapus, a Roman god of fertility. The bustling figures and intricate details showcase Raimondi's mastery of the engraving technique. This artwork is a prime example of the style and subject matter popular during the Italian Renaissance, and the work's detailed composition exemplifies the influence of Raphael, who Raimondi often copied.
