EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, and a young faun". Crafted by Francois-Anne David in 1787, this copperplate engraving is a true masterpiece. The statue depicts Bacchus, known as Dionysus in Greek mythology, alongside a youthful faun. Bacchus stands tall and regal, his chiseled features exuding power and grace.
