1892

About the Item

The painting (35 x 27 cm; 55 x 47 with frame) it's signed and dated E. Meyer 1892. The painting is composed by a pyramidal geometry that shows in close-up the a group of nude ladies wearing flower crowns, the Maenads, enlighted by a fantastic light, while they are tributing Dionysus with wine, vine leaves and the thyrse. On the background a maenad is wrapping the statue of the satyr with vine leaves while on the left a putto is dancing The tenderness of the human flesh and the grace of the composition are a synthesis and a representation of the themes liked by the professors of the author Jules-Élie Delaunay and Puvis de Chavannes. It has all characteristics of the art movement called "New-Greek" that was facing the subjects of the Classical Mythology preferring juvenile figures with an extreme grace and a smooth as the marble flesh.
