EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the exquisite artistic work of Pieter van der Werff. The piece titled "The Infant Bacchus" was created between 1700 and 1722, showcasing the artist's incredible talent and attention to detail. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to a cherubic figure seated on a luxurious red velvet cushion. This is none other than Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry, depicted here as an innocent infant. His rosy cheeks and playful expression exude youthful charm while his tiny hands clutch a bunch of grapes - symbolizing abundance and pleasure. Van der Werff's masterful use of light brings out every delicate feature in this artwork. Shadows dance across Bacchus' porcelain-like skin, highlighting his innocence yet hinting at the mischievous nature that lies within him. The background showcases opulent drapery cascading down from above, adding depth to the composition while emphasizing Bacchus as its central focus. The rich colors used by Van der Werff create a sense of warmth and luxury that further enhances our appreciation for this masterpiece. As we gaze upon "The Infant Bacchus" we cannot help but marvel at how art has preserved such beauty throughout history. This fine art print invites us into a world where mythological figures come alive with each stroke of the brush – reminding us that even in infancy, gods possess power beyond their years.
