Bacchus and Venus is a work from the collection of Walter Capezzali
“Bacco e Venere” is another artwork by Walter Capezzali inspired by ancient Greece mythology. The classic combination of gods, Bacchus and Venus. Sometimes with the addition of tobacco and a disturbing finish that hints at ashes. Here Venus, in a languid pose, in a sumptuous interior, decisively shows her apple, already tried and tasted in several places.
Outside, a Bacchus, proud of himself and his precious grapes, is completely immersed in a pressing tank. The proud look, the handsome physique, the head crowned with vine leaves, but he doesn’t seem so sure of himself. Any second thoughts?
