"Bacchant"
Bacchant Now hanging next to Papageno is a companion piece, Bacchant. The two paintings have different subject matter, but I painted them with the same color palette, on the same size canvas, and in the same style. A bacchant is a server or priestess of the Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry. Our bacchant here holds part of the grape harvest. A golden statue of Bacchus himself is in the background under the domed pavilion.My signature monogram on the lower left echos the Greek triskelion on the lower right.
