EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning design for a pendant depicting Bacchus at sea. Created between 1615 and 1700 by Virgilius Solis, the elder, this exquisite artwork is rendered in pen and black ink with grey wash on paper. The piece measures 6.9x5 cm and is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The intricate details of this pendant design are truly remarkable. The monogrammist PN (1600-1700) collaborated with Solis to bring this mythological scene to life. Bacchus, also known as Dionysus, is depicted amidst swirling waves aboard a boat adorned with vibrant colors. Dolphins gracefully swim alongside him, adding an element of enchantment to the composition. Bacchus was revered as the god of wine and revelry in ancient mythology. This depiction captures his divine essence while showcasing his connection to water through the maritime setting. The artist's skillful use of pen and ink creates depth and texture within the drawing. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Solis' talent but also provides insight into decorative arts during the seventeenth century. It exemplifies how mythological figures were often incorporated into various forms of artistic expression. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an era where artistry flourished and mythical tales came alive through intricate designs like this one featuring Bacchus at sea.
