This engraving by Italian Renaissance artist Giulio Bonasone, titled "Two Satyrs Leading Silenus to King Midas," depicts the mythological story of Silenus, the drunken tutor of the god Dionysus, being brought before King Midas. The scene is filled with lively detail, from the mischievous expressions on the satyrs' faces to the agitated mule trailing behind. This artwork is a prime example of the artist’s mastery of the engraving technique, creating a dramatic and nuanced portrayal of this classic mythological tale.
