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.

Or just follow what others say and make yourself feel the same way? People say the Winged Victory is very beautiful. Admirers come to the Louvre from all over the world.
