EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century print by Lucas van Valckenborch, titled "Midas Feast in Honour of Bacchus and Silenus" transports us into a world of indulgence and revelry. The artist skillfully captures the essence of debauchery and hedonism that characterized this era. In the dark interior, we witness a scene filled with people from all walks of life, celebrating with abandon. Men and women lie naked or partially clothed, their bodies intertwined as they partake in excessive drinking and feasting. This depiction draws inspiration from both Greek and Roman mythology, as figures like Bacchus (Dionysus) and Silenus take center stage. The concept behind this artwork is to honor these mythological deities associated with wine, fertility, ecstasy, and liberation from societal norms. The feast serves as an homage to their influence on human desires. Valckenborch's meticulous brushstrokes bring every detail to life - the sumptuous spread of food laid out before them, the expressions ranging from euphoria to drunkenness on each face. Through his oil-on-wood technique, he creates a richly textured composition that immerses viewers in this wild celebration. As we gaze upon this print held within the esteemed collection at Moscow's State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, we are reminded of humanity's timeless fascination with pleasure-seeking pursuits. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought moments of escape through intoxication -
