EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient Roman marble relief known as the "Bacchanalian procession". Created by Henry Corbould in the 19th century, this engraving depicts a lively scene from Roman mythology. The artwork is part of the renowned Townley Collection housed in the British Museum. The image transports us back to a time when pagan rituals and mythological figures held great significance. In this bacchic scene, we witness a grand procession led by Bacchus, also known as Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. Accompanied by mythical creatures such as fauns and satyrs, Bacchus exudes an aura of merriment and indulgence. The intricate details captured in this marble relief highlight both artistic skill and historical importance. It serves as a window into ancient Rome's rich cultural heritage, where religion played a central role in society. The depiction of chariots, animals, and fictional characters further adds depth to this mesmerizing composition. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and transport us to different eras. It invites contemplation on our shared human history while celebrating the beauty found within classical sculptures like these marbles from ancient Rome.
