Bacchanal, The Game of Leap Frog, c. 1785
Bacchanal, The Game of Leap Frog, c. 1785. Although Guyots print presents the same bacchanal as Gerards wax relief, the scene is flipped horizontally because the process of printing reverses the image. The differences between the two versions--apparent in the smoke, the foliage of the tree, and the belt of the central leaping man--suggest that both craftsmen may have worked directly from Moittes original design. Guyots use of aquatint, which produces areas of continuous tone with subtle variations in light and shade, makes the print seem more like a drawing than a sculpture. By printing on silk instead of paper, Guyot enhanced the sensuousness and luminosity of the scene in a manner different than Gerards use of coloured wax
