Ceres and Bacchus
The gods of bread and wine walking out arm in arm.
What
Bacchus and Ceres stand together, he crowned with vine leaves, she with wheat, her arm linked through his.
Why
A 17th-century copy after a print by Jan Harmensz Muller of a Spranger design; the Cleveland Museum of Art holds it (1916.805), CC0.
Notice
Muller’s print carried the motto: without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus grows cold.
“Love needs supper first.”
