EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jusepe de Ribera's masterpiece, "Drunken Silenus" painted in 1626. The oil on canvas artwork is housed in the Museo e Gallerie Nazionali di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. The painting depicts a male figure named Silenus, who is portrayed as overweight and intoxicated. Silenus was known as the companion and tutor to Dionysus or Bacchus, the Greek god of wine. In this scene, he can be seen pouring himself another drink while surrounded by a group of satyrs. Ribera skillfully captures Silenus' state of intoxication through his disheveled appearance and drunken demeanor. The artist pays attention to detail by including elements such as a donkey, snake, tortoise, and wine vessels that symbolize pleasure and hedonism. The composition exudes an atmosphere of laziness and indulgence as Silenus reclines leisurely against a backdrop of lush greenery. Through this mythological narrative, Ribera explores themes of excessiveness and the consequences that come with it. This remarkable piece invites viewers to reflect upon their own relationship with pleasure-seeking behaviors while marveling at Ribera's technical mastery. It serves as a reminder that even mythical figures are not immune to the perils of overindulgence.
