The Drunkenness of Silenus

Artist: Jean-Antoine Watteau
Artwork: The Drunkenness of Silenus
Description: The painting shows Silenus, the tutor of the young god Bacchus, drunk and surrounded by putti. Silenus is depicted as a fat, bald man with a long beard, and he is shown lying on the ground, surrounded by putti, who are playing with him and drinking wine. The painting is a lively and playful scene, and it is a good example of Watteau’s skill as a draughtsman and colorist.
