EDITORS COMMENTS
This wall tempera painting, created by Jean Boulanger in 1650-52, depicts the mythological scene of Bacchus taming the tiger that the persecutor Juno sent against him. The detailed artwork is housed in the Palazzo Ducale Estense in Sassuolo, Emilia Romagna, Italy.
In this particular detail of the larger composition, Bacchus is shown confidently astride the fierce tiger that was meant to harm him. Juno, observing from above in the clouds, looks on as Bacchus effortlessly asserts his dominance over the beast.
The faux tapestry background adds depth to the scene, with a river landscape and a prominent tree at its center. A putto on the left points towards this dramatic interaction between god and animal.
This piece is just one of forty-one panels painted by Boulanger that narrate various events from Bacchus's life. The artist's skillful brushwork brings this ancient myth to life with vibrant colors and intricate details.
As you gaze upon this masterpiece, you can almost feel Bacchus's power and grace emanating from the canvas. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and artistry that transcends time.
