This engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, possibly dating from 1510-1562, depicts a scene from Roman mythology. It shows two satyrs, mischievous woodland creatures, forcing Silenus, the drunken tutor of Bacchus, onto a donkey. The intricate details and strong lines of the engraving showcase Raimondi's mastery of the printmaking technique. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient stories in Renaissance art.
