This print, created by the Monogrammist MP between 1680 and 1800, depicts three scenes from classical mythology. The top panel shows Bacchus and Ariadne, a scene of romance and celebration. The middle panel portrays Bacchus raising his glass, perhaps signifying his divine power and enjoyment of wine. The bottom panel depicts Perseus and Andromeda, a tale of heroism and rescue. The Monogrammist MP, whose identity remains unknown, employed a detailed and expressive style to create this series of scenes. The print exemplifies the popularity of mythological narratives in art during this period.
