About the piece

This vibrant collaboration between Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck captures the riotous energy of the Dionysian retinue. Drunken Silenus, rendered with remarkable anatomical realism and warmth, is supported by a robust satyr and a young woman against a lush, fruit-laden background.
