EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning wall tempera painting captures the intense moment of Bacchus fighting with the snake sent to him by Juno. Painted by Jean Boulanger in 1650-52, this masterpiece is housed in the Palazzo Ducale Estense in Sassuolo, Italy.
In the scene, Bacchus stands defiantly in front of a large tree, wielding a vine branch as he strikes at the menacing snake sent by Juno. The faux tapestry backdrop adds depth to the composition, with putti lifting and holding onto its edges.
The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this mythological battle to life, showcasing Boulanger's skill as an artist. This panel is just one of forty-one scenes painted by Boulanger that narrate the events of Bacchus.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where gods and goddesses clash in epic confrontations. The tension between Bacchus and the snake is palpable, drawing us into their fierce conflict.
Through this painting, we are reminded of the power of mythology to captivate our imaginations and inspire awe. It serves as a testament to both Boulanger's talent and the enduring appeal of ancient stories brought to life through art.
