* Bacchante. Four oval stipple engravings, circa 1800, four engravings, printed in colours and finished by hand, each showing a Bacchante with a child, each 215 x 280 mm and displayed in uniform contemporary gilt gesso framesQty: (4)NOTESA Bacchante or Maenad were the female followers of Dionysus and their name literally translates as "raving ones". They are associated with the worship of the Greek god of wine, Dionysus (or Bacchus in Roman mythology), and were characterized by maniacal dancing in which the revellers, called Bacchantes, whirled, screamed, became drunk and incited one another to greater and greater ecstasy. The goal was to achieve a state of enthusiasm in which the celebrants’ souls were temporarily freed from their earthly bodies and were able to commune with Bacchus/Dionysus and gain a glimpse of and a preparation for what they would someday experience in eternity. The rite climaxed in a performance of frenzied feats of strength and madness, such as uprooting trees, tearing a bull (the symbol of Dionysus) apart with their bare hands. The more pastoral scenes in these four engravings may show the Bacchante in the role of nymphs who nurse and care for the young Dionysus, and continue in his worship as he comes of age. The god Hermes is said to have carried the young Dionysus to the nymphs of Nysa.
