Copy of an Antique Bas Relief: Dionysus Seated by a Table

Jan de Bisschop Dutch

Not on view

Among the many drawings that De Bisschop created in his characteristic brown wash, were numerous copies after works of Renaissance art and antique art. The present sheet copies a relief that was formerly in the Villa Albani. The artist made two versions of the image; a second one is in the collection of the École Nationale Supérieur des Beaux-Arts in Paris (inv. no. Mas.1531). This one is slightly smaller and looser in handling than the one in Paris. .
