This print shows a wild party with lots of naked people dancing and playing music. Tables are piled with food and wine. In the background, a big tree and a temple sit by a river. Some figures float in the sky. The scene looks busy and full of energy. The title says this is the "Festival of the Gods." It’s based on a story about Cupid and Psyche—two myth characters. The artist used lines to create shadows and shapes, making it look almost 3D. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
