EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Feast of Bacchus also called The Drinkers" we are transported to a scene painted by the renowned Spanish artist Diego Velasquez. Known for his masterful ability to capture human emotions, Velasquez brings to life the mythological figure Dionysius, the Greek god of wine. The image showcases a lively gathering where drunken Spanish peasants revel in their merriment. As Dionysius stands at the center, his presence exudes an air of intoxicating energy and indulgence. His divine influence is evident as he watches over the festivities with a mischievous smile on his face. Velasquez's exceptional talent shines through in every brushstroke, capturing both the physicality and emotional state of each character. The vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand this bacchanalian celebration. This artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's long-standing fascination with alcohol and its ability to liberate inhibitions.
