EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a scene of uninhibited revelry and sensuality. The artwork, titled "Scene with Bacchantes, Bacchanal with lovemaking naked couples in the forest" was created by Jacob van Loo in 1653. In this mesmerizing composition, we witness a lush forest setting where pleasure-seeking individuals indulge in their desires without inhibition. On the right side of the image, a man squeezes grapes into a drinking bowl, symbolizing the intoxicating nature of both wine and passion. Beside him lies a woman on the floor, her body languidly intertwined with his. The background reveals another figure; a woman beating on a triangle to set the rhythm for this wild gathering known as thiasos or Bacchus revel-rout. Interestingly, this bacchanal unfolds without Bacchus himself being present. Van Loo's masterful use of canvas and oil paint brings these scenes to life before our eyes. The dimensions of this artwork are approximately 63 cm in height, 55.5 cm in width, and 8 cm in depth. As we gaze upon this evocative print captured by Liszt Collection, we are transported back to an era where inhibitions were shed amidst nature's embrace—a timeless reminder that human desire knows no bounds when unleashed within secluded realms like these forests.
