About the Item
This work likely Italian dates from circa 1680-1700. It relates directly to a 16th century engraving of the same subject after a drawing by Giulio Romano. That composition is inspired by a sarcophagus representing the Triumph of Baccus and Ariadne. An example of the engraving circa 1531 is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. By an unattributed hand but clearly by an artist capable of the medium of ink and wash drawing a rather unforgiving technique and well scaled and executed. The work is nicely French matted and framed in an antique Italian gilded wood frame complimenting the work.

Andre Derain Etching signed in pencil
By Andre Darin
Located in Hudson, NY
Andre Derain was born in Chatou France in 1880. He met Matisse early in his life but was conscripted into the French army in 1901. After his service and when released Matisse convinced his parents to allow him to stop training as an engineering student to develop his artistic talents. He devoted himself full time to painting and attended the Academie Julian. He developed his early important style with close friends Maurice de Vlaminck and Henri Matisse. This became known as Fauvism and helped to usher in the other modern movements in art throughout the 20th century.
