EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning wall tempera painting, titled "Bacchus tames the tiger that the persecutor Juno sent against him," captures a moment of mythological drama and divine intervention. Painted by Jean Boulanger in 1650-52, this masterpiece is housed in the Palazzo Ducale Estense in Sassuolo, Italy.
In the scene depicted, Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry, fearlessly rides atop a fierce tiger that Juno, his persecutor and queen of the gods, sent to attack him. With skillful brushstrokes and intricate details, Boulanger brings this ancient tale to life on canvas.
The faux tapestry background features a serene river landscape with a majestic tree at its center. A putto points towards Bacchus and the tiger as Juno watches from above in the clouds. This panel is just one of forty-one scenes painted by Boulanger that narrate various events from Bacchus's life.
The composition exudes power and grace as Bacchus effortlessly subdues his ferocious foe. The vibrant colors and dynamic poses create a sense of movement and energy within the painting.
Overall, this artwork is not only visually captivating but also serves as a testament to Boulanger's talent for storytelling through art. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in an ancient mythological world where gods walk among mortals and miracles happen before their eyes.
