Bacchanales: Nymph Supported by Two Satyrs, 1763. Creator: Jean-Honore Fragonard (French

Bacchanales: Nymph Supported by Two Satyrs, 1763. The set of Bacchanales was made two years after Fragonard returned from a trip to Italy where he studied Roman antiquities. However, these light-hearted vignettes owe more to the effervescent aspects of the 18th-century Rococo period than to a serious understanding of antiquity and Roman art. Fragonards black chalk drawing for Nymph Supported by Two Satyrs --after a marble bas-relief then in the Villa Mattei in Rome--and two other studies for these etchings still exist. Although this is one of Fragonards earliest prints, it shows that he had already mastered the process: the etched lines effectively suggest the weight and movement of the figures and also provide a uniform system of light and shading for the decorative backdrop of foliage
