About the piece
Created in 1747 by Charles André van Loo, this vibrant work depicts the drunkenness of Silenus, the tutor and companion to Bacchus. Reclining upon a leopard skin and attended by satyrs and followers, the central figure is presented in a moment of unrestrained celebration. Van Loo, a premier artist of the French Rococo, demonstrates his mastery of light and figurative composition, making this piece a sophisticated addition to a classical or traditional collection.
