Van Dyck’s Silenus, engraved so the whole of Europe could own it.
What
A satyr and a youth hold up the slumping Silenus while a woman with grapes looks on, under a tree.
Why
Bolswert engraved van Dyck’s design; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this impression (1975.23.2), CC0.
Notice

“A painting reaches one room; a print reaches every room.”
