Victor Wolfvoet II. - Old Master Paintings

(Antwerp 1612–1652)
Drunken Bacchants,
oil on canvas, 118 x 208 cm, framed

This painting is accompanied by a written expert report by Klaus Ertz (February 2015).

Ertz writes: “The painting can be said to be in a very good state of preservation, an impression highlighted by the bright paint of the putti standing out against a partly dark background. The putto wreathed in grape leaves appears to include the viewer through its direct gaze. Aside from various christian themes Victor Wolfvoet, a student of Peter Paul Ruben, repeatedly addressed the myth of drunken Bacchus and his accompanying bacchants”.
