EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bacchante, an ancient Roman female follower of Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry. Stepping forward with confidence, she holds the ends of her drapery in each hand, revealing her partly nude form. The image is believed to have been created between 1795-1820 by Italian artists Vicenzo Feoli and Domenico del Frate. The bacchante's full-length figure exudes both grace and sensuality as she embraces her nakedness. Her expression reflects a sense of liberation and abandon, embodying the spirit of Bacchus' wild celebrations. This depiction draws inspiration from Greek mythology, where maenads were known for their ecstatic dances during Dionysian rituals. The photograph is reminiscent of wall paintings found in Herculaneum, an ancient city near Naples that was preserved under volcanic ash after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. It serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage and its enduring fascination with classical themes. Acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this engraving showcases the mastery of Agapito Franzetti's artistic technique while capturing the timeless allure of nudity in art. With its exquisite details rendered in black and white tones, this print invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty and complexity inherent in human form throughout history.
