# Bacchanalia of Putti [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DUQUESNOY, François]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary Duquesnoy arrived from Brussels in Rome in 1618 and was feted by the critics of the day who saw him as the champion of classical ideals. He became close friends with Nicolas Poussin, who influenced his early work as can be seen in this relief executed for Villa Pamphilj. The theme of this relief may be derived from Duquesnoy's admiration of Titian depiction of the theme. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 7 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/19\_cent/saint-saens\_bacchanal.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Camille Saint-Saëns: Samson et Delila, Act III, Scene 2, Bacchanal</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [Apollo and Cupid]() - [Cardinal Maurizio of Savoy]() - [Cardinal Maurizio of Savoy]() - [Epitaph of Adriaen Vryburch]() - [Epitaph of Ferdinand van den Eynde]() - [Epitaph of Ferdinand van den Eynde]() - [Mercury]() - [Rondanini Faun]() - [Sleeping Silenus]() - [St Andrew]() - [St Susanna \(detail\)]() - [St Susanna]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
