EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Silenus, a prominent figure in Greek mythology. Painted by Ker Xavier Roussel, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Silenus, an elderly and bearded deity known as the god of wine. The scene takes place in the serene countryside, where Silenus is seen riding a donkey while intoxicated. Despite his drunken state, Silenus displays a caring nature as he helps children along his journey. This portrayal highlights his role as a tutor and mentor to young ones in Greek mythology. The artist skillfully depicts the contrast between Silenus' nakedness and the innocence of the children surrounding him. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this mythological scene to life, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in ancient folklore. Roussel's mastery shines through every brushstroke, capturing both the physicality of Silenus and the intoxication that defines him. Displayed at Galleria Internazionale d'Arte Moderna in Ca Pesaro, Venice, Italy, this painting continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. As an out-of-copyright piece of art from French origin, it serves as a reminder of our fascination with mythology and how it continues to inspire artists throughout history.
