The Education of Bacchus
The printmaker Dei Boni was not only good friends with Canova, but also an accomplished craftsman. In a combination of etching and engraving he translated all of the nuances of the carved relief in tonal values ranging from pale grey to black. The infant god Bacchus is here entrusted to the nymphs of Nysa to be raised and educated.
