brief introduction

A master painter with enthusiasm and color like Titian in Venice has a certain social foundation. /kloc-in the 6th century, although Venice had established a political system, the feudal reactionary forces were still rampant. Under excellent economic conditions, people are more and more interested in the philosophy of freedom and WTO entry. Titian expresses joy and enjoyment in life through the theme of Greek mythology, which accords with the rebellious psychology of some people under the long-term imprisonment of theological thought.

Starting from 15 18, Titian painted some of the most passionate and emotional mythological works in his life, such as The Banquet of Venus (15 18 in Madrid Prado Art Museum) and Dionysus and Ariadne (155). Painters express some people's psychological desires by painting immortals' drunken dreams. The image is bold and dissolute, the colors are rich and changeable, and the atmosphere is very warm. It is a challenge to the abstinence concept advocated by theology.

The Dionysian Sacrifice depicts the deeds of Dionysus, the Dionysian god in Greek mythology. Dionysus is the son of Zeus and Semele. He took the lead in using grapes to make wine and dedicated it to the gods of Olympus. After that, the gods rejoiced. Every year when the grapes germinated in spring and harvested in autumn, people would hold a bacchanalia with God. Dionysus lost her maternal love when she was a child because her mother was killed by Zeus lightning, and was adopted by the gods. In the meantime, he changed several supporters. When he grew up, he became a brave, kind, playful and unrestrained young man. During the period when Nuosha Mountain was raised by enoch and Rhea, it was protected by Silenus (short and thick body, bald head, flat nose, a pair of ears and a tail), the son of mountain animal Pastoral Pan (human body, leg of lamb and long horn). They often go hunting in a car pulled by a leopard, so they are very friendly with Satya, the son of Pan nationality, and Nymph, the banshee of Shui Ze. Whenever he is in bacchanalia, Dionysus and this group of carefree Satya, the beautiful and lively goddess gets drunk and revels in Shan Ye. The picture on the right corner is a naked woman lying on her back, which is the drunkenness of Ning Foxian. On the left are two drunken Pan Shi brothers. Silenus, next to two trees, is pouring wine into the fairy's plate lying on the ground. On the hillside in the distance, there is a Satya who is already drunk. All this is not so much a carnival between Dionysus and the immortals as a portrayal of the enjoyment of young folk men and women. There is no lack of desire for female functional beauty praised by artists here, but the main theme is still healthy and full of the unique happy rhythm of young people's lives.
