Today this subject from an artist in the US would likely cause an arrest. Then they got you not being the right religion. Real progress all around. World run by, well, a bunch of babies. . ..
Enlarged image can be found here or here or at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.Bacchanal of Putti (click links for Wikipedia pages) has a description here along with a different coloration image. The artist also painted another version, neither of which are described online, as far as I can tell, at their current-location (Italian page Google translated).Another description, pointing out painting details, can be found here. A slightly different coloration image can be found here or here. The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Third of the 8 works by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.
I totally understand that religion and belief in gods was born out of trying to explain the unexplainable world around us without knowledge of science, thus creating myths. What I don’t get is what the heck this painting is supposed to mean!
