EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Birth of Bacchus" by Giulio Romano, an Italian artist from the Roman era. Created around 1533, this masterpiece is rendered using pen and brown ink, with a meticulous black chalk underdrawing. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing to life the mythological scene depicted. The composition depicts the birth of Bacchus, a god associated with wine and revelry in ancient mythology. Romano skillfully captures the moment of divine emergence as Bacchus emerges from his mother's thigh fully grown and adorned with grapes and vines. The use of brown wash adds depth and dimension to the drawing, enhancing its visual impact. Measuring at 25.1 x 40.6 cm (9 7/8 x 16 in. ), this artwork represents Romano's exceptional talent for storytelling through art. The squared black chalk outlines visible on the paper indicate that this drawing was likely transferred onto another surface for further artistic development or reproduction. As part of Liszt Collection's vast array of historical prints, this photograph preserves not only Romano's brilliance but also offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Renaissance artistry at its finest. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within a private collection, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both Romano's mastery and humanity’s enduring fascination with mythology throughout history.
