EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of a Faun at a Bacchanalian orgy with cymbals and scabellum" by Francois-Anne David. The copperplate engraving, dating back to 1787, is part of the esteemed Museum de Florence collection. In this remarkable artwork, David skillfully captures the essence of Roman mythology and classical art. The statue depicts a faun, an enchanting creature from ancient folklore known for its mischievous nature. Surrounding the faun are various figures engaged in a Bacchanalian orgy, reveling in Dionysian festivities. The intricate details and delicate lines of this stipple engraving bring life to each character portrayed. One can almost hear the rhythmic sounds emanating from the cymbals and scabellum held by some participants, adding an element of music to this vibrant scene. Francois-Anne David's work draws inspiration from Roman statues as well as engraved stones and medals found within the Museum de Florence's extensive collection. It also incorporates elements from the cabinet of curiosities belonging to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. This print transports us back in time to witness one of Rome's most notorious celebrations - Bacchanalia - where gods and mortals alike indulged in pleasure without restraint. Through this masterpiece, we gain insight into both ancient mythological beliefs and artistic techniques that continue to captivate audiences today.
