EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures the essence of Bacchus and Diana's bacchanal, a celebration filled with revelry and merriment. Painted by Hendrik van Balen in the early 17th century, this panel showcases his mastery of oil paint. In the center of the composition stands Bacchus himself, surrounded by satyrs and children. They joyfully indulge in drinking, throwing up (a symbol of excess), and creating music that fills the air. The atmosphere is one of uninhibited pleasure as they revel in their freedom. On the other side, we see Diana accompanied by nymphs and her faithful hunting dog. She holds arrow quivers while carrying a hunting horn, emphasizing her connection to nature and her role as a huntress. This juxtaposition between Bacchus' wild festivities and Diana's composed presence adds depth to the artwork. The details are meticulously rendered; from the expressions on each character's face to their intricate clothing, every element contributes to an immersive experience for viewers. The dimensions of this print measure approximately 39.5 cm in height, 52 cm in width, and 5.5 cm in depth. This piece from Liszt Collection transports us back to a time when mythological figures came alive through artistry—a testament to van Balen's talent as well as his ability to capture both chaos and harmony within a single frame.
