EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francesco Bartolozzi's masterpiece, "Ariadne, Cupid and Bacchus" created in 1788. The image transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology, where allegorical figures come to life. In this scene, Ariadne, a mythical woman of great beauty and strength, stands alongside Cupid and Bacchus. Bartolozzi's intricate etching and engraving skills bring out every delicate detail of this artwork. The fourth state of four captures the essence of these mythological characters with precision. Ariadne is depicted as a naked female figure, her hand gesturing towards something beyond our view while pointing at an unseen location. Her vulnerability is juxtaposed with the angelic presence of cherubs surrounding her. Cupid, the mischievous Roman god of love, hovers nearby with his bow ready to strike unsuspecting hearts. Meanwhile, Bacchus (also known as Dionysus), the god associated with wine and revelry in ancient mythology, adds an element of celebration to the composition. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece that exemplifies Bartolozzi's mastery in capturing both human form and emotion through his engravings. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported into a timeless realm where mythological beings intertwine with humanity's deepest desires.
