E77 - RAPE OF ABORTION IN FURY MENADE - 2007.
Acrylic on canvas 140 x 190cm - 55,1 x 74,8 inches
ETRUSCAN / (Text translated by Google) /Since the main character is a Maenad more than a worshiper, a true follower of frenzied Dionysus, who was as everyone knows, the God of vegetation, wine and ecstasy, remember that Maenads were generally represented engaging in ecstatic round bearing swirling dresses, their hair tousled selected most often by a snake, if not by a wreath of ivy. Their dresses put attention to their nakedness, by the time the draped dresses with extremely fine translucent or transparent if not completely, covered on the shoulders of a fawn-skin or animal skin. They are almost always carry a big stick or thyrsus Seabuckthorn with a pineapple or a bunch of ivy tied at the end. A raging maenad rejects what might be called today a sexual stalker. There is no other clothing on the head, the tire characteristic described by Oribasius in one of his treatises on medicine and also with ankle collars set with decorative straps. His body as his erect penis summers have deliberately wasted. The young man left was a pugilist in a vase pelike Attic black-figure. He had initially strips wrists and hands.
The woman on the right was originally a satyr ithyphallic bearded, like the painter Sotades 460 BC present in a clay vessel. He was holding a stick in one hand and a vase in the other. If she holds a fish in her left hand, because it corresponds to a recurrent iconography of the time. The monstrous crab is one that has attacked Heracles during the fight against the Hydra of Lerna. It will be overwritten and become carcinos! The two icons to the left and center above, are strictly taken from the Etruscan symbolic. When birds and dogs, they have become almost an integral part of the Philhelm's landscape, should we say, philhellenic?
When the signature Philhelm Etruscan writing, it is now known you.
Menades: These are the nurses of the god, the nymphs of Mount Nysa, which Hermes had given the divine infant. The Maenads are constantly drunk ... they do not care what they do: they become crazy, they have no mercy, dismembering the unfortunate passengers and eating their raw flesh, which Orpheus! Their favorite is the month of October, because it is the harvest.
Oribasius: Famous Greek physician, attached to the Emperor Julian, about 325-403, mostly known for the resumption of treaties medicine's antiquity !
Carcinus: The sign in the constellation Cancer. |
