Description: | The depiction of the infancy of the god Bacchus at Nysa unfolds with a goat seducing a nymph who reclines in parallel to the picture plane. The goat gazes at her fervently, its left foot placed on her left thigh. The enthralled nymph picks a rose from the crown of flowers adorning the goat's head. Bacchus, riding an old satyr, looks on from the right. A young satyr engages a putto by pointing his finger at the flirting game. On the left, a satyr looms in, lusting after the nymph. Two obese, drunk and chortling figures riding a shrieking donkey enter from behind. | Subjects: | mythology (Infancy of Bacchus) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Boullogne, Louis de (French painter and printmaker, 1654-1733) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to school of Boucher, François (French painter, engraver, and designer, 1703-1770) Previously attributed to school of Lairesse, Gerard de (Flemish painter, printmaker, and draftsman, 1640-1711) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8742... | Go to resource |
