Drunken Silenus–Jusepe De Ribera(1626)

Silenus is either the son of Pan or Mercury. Here he is showing him drunk and there are Satyrs around him that are taking advantage of him. They are being very rude because he was stupid.

Artist Biographical SketchJusepe de Ribera is best known for his dark, and gory.

He is really creepy and weird. He has an odd obsession with skulls in most of his paintings I found a skull somewhere in the painting. Ribera's paintings are indeed often dark, disturbing and bloody, but that's not all there is to his paintings: a closer look at the artist's oeuvre will reveal that Ribera's style is in fact far more varied than previously suspected.
