EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Statue of the Greek god Dionysus as an old man" transports us back to ancient Greece. Created in 1779 by Giovanni Battista Cannetti, this print showcases a Roman copy of a Greek original from the 4th century BC, now housed in the Vatican. The statue depicts Dionysus, also known as Bacchus, in his later years with an ivy wreath adorning his head and a long flowing beard. The image exudes a sense of antiquity and reverence for classical art. The worn-down appearance of the sculpture adds to its allure, reminding us of the passage of time and the enduring power of ancient mythology. Dionysus was revered as both a god and mythological figure associated with wine, fertility, ecstasy, and ritual madness. As we gaze upon this engraving from the 18th century, we are transported into a world where gods walked among mortals. It serves as a testament to human fascination with divine beings throughout history. This artwork invites contemplation on themes such as religion, paganism, polytheism, and our connection to ancient civilizations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece through their Fine Art Finder collection for all admirers of art history to appreciate its beauty and significance today.
