EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite design of the Tazza Farnese, a masterpiece created by renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens. Measuring 23.4x21.6 cm, this red chalk with gouache on paper artwork is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. The Tazza Farnese draws inspiration from Annibale Carracci's "The Drunken Silenus" and serves as a companion piece to it. With its four-layered structure and Hellenistic influences, this cup transports us into a world of mythology and debauchery. In this allegorical scene, we witness an inebriated Silenus slumped against a wine bag while surrounded by vines and garlands. Dionysus, the god of wine himself, presides over the bacchanalian festivities alongside satyrs and putti. Rubens' attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his chalk as he brings these mythological characters to life. The vibrant red hues symbolize both passion and intoxication, perfectly capturing the essence of Bacchus' realm. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are reminded of the power that art possesses to transport us into fictional worlds filled with wonderful yet monstrous characters like Silenus. Cherubs add an angelic touch amidst all the chaos, creating a harmonious balance between heaven and earth. This print allows us to appreciate Rubens' genius while immersing ourselves in a scene that celebrates indulgence
