Για το έργο
Drunk on the ground, Silenus holds up his cup in Jusepe de Ribera’s Silenus, an etching of 1628 at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland. A satyr pours wine before a large barrel. Two infants imitate the reclining tutor of Bacchus, while a donkey brays nearby. Pan crowns him with vine leaves, his pipes and staff set down at his feet. Above left, a satyr and maenad play music; the flute’s placement adds a sexual joke. Ribera took inspiration from Mantegna’s bacchanalian imagery.
Με τα λόγια του μουσείου
Before a large wine barrel, Silenus (Bacchus’s teacher) lies inebriated on the ground as he raises his cup to receive wine from a satyr in this print. Jusepe de Ribera included these and other details indicating that the scene was intended to be humorous. Two infants mimic Silenus, and a braying donkey adds to the chaotic setting. Pan, patron of shepherds, with his pipe and staff at his feet, crowns Silenus with grapevines. A satyr and a maenad, at upper left, contribute music as well as sexual innuendo (implied by the placement of the satyr’s flute). Ribera drew inspiration from Andrea Mantegna’s bacchanalia image but he introduced more texture and sensuality to the subject matter through his rich etching technique.
