The Infant Bacchus - A Mythical Celebration of Youth and Wine
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by Raphael Morghen and Giovanni Volpato in the 18th century, depicts a scene from Greek mythology. The central figure is the infant Bacchus, also known as Dionysus, seated under a majestic tree. With an air of mischief in his eyes, he holds up a wine glass as if to toast to the joys of life. Behind him stands another young child, adding an element of playfulness to the composition. The artist's attention to detail brings out the innocence and curiosity that define childhood. The image evokes a sense of timelessness; it transports us back to an era when mythological tales were revered and celebrated. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, people found solace and joy in indulging their senses with wine. The delicate lines and shading techniques employed by Morghen beautifully capture every nuance of this enchanting scene. His collaboration with Volpato showcases their mastery over etching techniques. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print not only pays homage to Italian artistry but also highlights the enduring appeal of Greek mythology throughout history. It invites viewers into a world where imagination intertwines with reality—a world where children embody both innocence and mischievousness while celebrating life's pleasures.
