EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning wall tempera painting, titled "Lycurgus made mad by Bacchus," transports us to a moment of divine madness and chaos in ancient mythology. Painted by Jean Boulanger in 1650-52, this masterpiece is housed in the Palazzo Ducale Estense in Sassuolo, Italy.
The scene depicts Lycurgus, king of the Edonians, driven to madness by Bacchus for daring to cut down vines in his kingdom. In front of a majestic double tree, we see the king playing with a group of children while Bacchus looks on with an enigmatic gaze.
Boulanger's intricate brushwork brings this mythological tale to life, capturing the frenzy and hysteria that consumes Lycurgus under the influence of the god of wine. The vast landscape behind them adds depth and drama to the composition, drawing us into this fantastical world where gods and mortals collide.
As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the power of myth and legend to captivate our imaginations across centuries. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition make it clear why this painting is considered one of Boulanger's masterpieces.
