BACCHUS, GOD WITH BULL’S HORNS
In this canvas Vanessa Foschi paints Bacchus, to whom Zeus himself, father of the gods, gave birth the second time. He did so after having grafted him in his thigh with golden clasps.
Like the fluvial gods, even Bacchus has taurine horns. He, amid the vegetation, quickens the growth of the seeds in the soil. In the same way, like a lens, magnifies the natural drives of the human psyche.
