The Drunken Silenus

Spanish Naples, in a single etched sheet.

What

Silenus sprawls beside a wine vat while a satyr fills his cup, etched by Ribera in Naples.

Why

Ribera made only a handful of etchings while painting for the Spanish viceroys of Naples, and this is among the most famous of them.

Notice

The belly and the cup, drawn with a printmaker’s patience.

“The vine’s oldest servant, at rest and at his ease.”
