The Dionysos gallery (2)
Next on our travel down the Dionysos museum, we have an entire section dedicated to the Bacchanals in painting - with a few analysis here and there.
Tumblr media
Titien's The Bacchanal of the Andrians
The Museum's website adds that this depicts the legend of how Dionysos gifted the inhabitants of the island of Andros with a river of wine. It was one of the numerous "miracles" attributed to the god by folk-belief when he became the god of the grapevine. Already in his "Bacchants" Euripides had told how, by touching a stone with his thyrsus he created a stream of fresh water, and where his narthex had touched the ground a stream of wine flowed ; and those that sought milk only had to scratch the ground near the god to see it flow, and from the god's thyrsus honey dropped...
In Ionia, on the island of Teos, a similar legend existed: it was said, by Diodor of Sicily and Pline the Elder, that at a fixed date in a calendar a stream of wine regularly flowed. At Elis, on the eve of the god's feast-day, empty jars and jugs were sealed and left alone in Dionysos' temple: by the morning, when they were opened, they were filled to the brim with wine.
Tumblr media
Giovanni Bellini and Titien's The Feast of the Gods
The museum adds this mention: the painting is a depiction of the legend of Lotis collected by Ovid. One night, as the gods had a feast, the nymph Lotis fell asleep. Priapus got close to her, and with his famous ithyphallic nature, he decided to rape her. But as he was about to touch her body, the donkey of Silenus started making loud noises - waking up everybody, including Lotis. Lotis fled from Priapus' embrace, and all the gods laughed and mocked the god.
This painting was most notably the favorite painting of Fernand Botero.

"Landscape with the Education of Bacchus" by Francesco Zuccarelli
From what I've read so far on Hyrsam, the Archfey, he seems to be a mix between Pan and Dionysus (if we're sticking strictly to classical mythology). So I am assuming his retinue is very, very, very, very much like the Bacchante/Maenads which is such a WIN in terms of glamor. Here are some paintings for inspiration for the Feywild's favorite Prince of Fools.

🖼 Regarding the painting in Charles’ office, I saw Sandiedog had an article about the photo that mentioned the painting. The article was from BBC News, September 24, 2022, by royal correspondent, Sean Coughlan. It identified the painting as “an 18th century Italian oil by Francesco Zuccarelli.” 🖼 Jgemoji
Thank you❤️

Louis Vuitton all’Isola Bella
Tumblr media
Nella primavera inoltrata, il lago Maggiore ha il suo cuore in una delle sue zona più magiche, l’Isola Bella. Il palazzo e il giardino sull’acqua, da secoli nobile esempio del Barocco ed amato da tantissimi visitatori che ogni anno attraversano il Golfo Borromeo per ammirarlo, si stanno preparando per un’occasione speciale, infatti il 24 maggio faranno da cornice alla sfilata della collezione Cruise 2024 di Louis Vuitton. Si tratta di una scelta, quella del direttore creativo della maison Nicolas Ghesquière, che si colloca perfettamente nella linea già seguita nelle occasioni precedenti, accomunate dalla selezione di location esclusive e in grado di esaltare lo spirito del viaggio alla scoperta di luoghi straordinari, dalla California al Giappone. Così il tesoro che la famiglia Borromeo custodisce da secoli sul lago Maggiore, con tutte le sue bellezze, non poteva non attrarre l’interesse della casa di moda e, dopo 450 anni di storia, sarà il  protagonista di una prima volta tutta da vivere. Fino al 1630 l’Isola Bella, non molto lontano da Stresa, era solo un lembo di terra e roccia prevalentemente abitata da pescatori. Ma con l’arrivo del duca Carlo III Borromeo e in seguito dei figli Giberto III e Vitaliano VI, l’isola cambiò completamente volto, diventando un complesso di grande impatto scenografico, dalla forma di un immaginario vascello con una sontuosa villa edificata nella parte più stretta a settentrione, mentre il giardino venne sistemato nella più ampia zona meridionale. I lavori dureranno secoli, terminando solo nel secondo dopoguerra, quando il principe Vitaliano X Borromeo Arese fece costruire il Salone Grande, la facciata settentrionale e il grande molo che si trova all’estremità superiore dell’isola. L’interno del palazzo barocco, in un continuo susseguirsi di sale arredate con tele di artisti come il napoletano Luca Giordano, il toscano Francesco Zuccarelli e il fiammingo Pieter Mulier detto il Tempesta, è un ambiente elegante e raffinato, con mobili di gran pregio, marmi, stucchi neoclassici, sculture e arazzi di produzione fiamminga del XV secolo. Di grande interesse storico sono la Sala della Musica, dove nel 1935 si svolse la Conferenza di Stresa tra Mussolini, Laval e Mac Donald e la Sala di Napoleone che vi soggiornò con la moglie Giuseppina Beauharnais. Dopo aver terminato la visita alla villa si arriva all’esempio più splendido e grandioso di giardino barocco all’italiana, composto di dieci terrazze digradanti, con vasche, fontane, prospettive architettoniche e una moltitudine di statue della seconda metà del ‘600 che rappresentano le personificazioni di fiumi, stagioni e venti. Gli ambienti sono delimitati da una serie di muraglie e balaustre in cui s’intravedono i punti da cui sgorgavano zampilli, fontane, cascatelle e giochi d’acqua. Il clima mite, ha permesso la crescita di piante come azalee e rododendri, di pompelmi e arance amare, orchidee e piante carnivore, oltre a un grosso canforo vecchio di duecento anni.

Landscape with Dancing Figures (c.1750). Francesco Zuccarelli (Italian, 1702 - 1788). Oil on canvas. Boston Athenæum. 
In 1838, the Athenæum purchased this painting, along with eight others, from a dealer named Francesco Celestini who posed as an impoverished Florentine count on a mission to save his family by selling his ancestral art collection in America. The count’s proposal found an appreciative client in the Athenæum, which was eager to enrich its art collection with examples of European works, regardless of whether they were originals or copies. This painting happened to be one of the original works. The count subsequently vanished without a trace.
