Bacchus

This mini-print shows Bacchus, classical deity of wine and vineyards, astride a barrel and raising a toast to Good Cheer!

The quote is a song from Shakespeare's 'Antony and Cleopatra - 'Come, thou monarch of the vine, Plumpy Bacchus with pink eyne! In thy vats our cares be drowned, with thy grapes our hairs be crowned.'

This three colour print measures 20 cm square and is printed in a strictly limited edition of 50, signed and numbered by the artist and is part of a series of Shakespeare inspired mini-prints (see also Where the Bee Sucks, Puck and Cupid). Part of Shakespeare 400.
