The Seconda Macchina for the Chinea of 1738: The Triumph of Bacchus and Ceres

Miguel de Sorellò, after Carl Marcus Tuscher

National Gallery of Art

This is an engraving of various figures engaged in a grand vignette. The scene is rich with characters and symbols. There is a central figure on a chariot surrounded by others engaged in activity. The image features a densely packed composition with figures in classical garments, some holding instruments or weapons. In the lower central area and sides, there are figures with water-themed elements. This is in the style of an allegorical or mythological engraving typical of the late Baroque period.
