| dc.description | Overall view; The ribald and exuberant Triumph of Silenus was exhibited at the Salons 1885 and 1897. It combines the the vivacity and richness of Carpeaux (Dalou had been his student) with scholarly familiarity with the work of Giambologna, Duret and others. In Greek mythology, Silenus was a companion and tutor to the wine god Dionysus. He is typically older than the satyrs of the Dionysian retinue; he is frequently shown drunk on the back of a donkey supported by satyrs, or as here, by maenads (Greek; bacchantes in Roman myths) indulging in drunken revelry or bacchanalia.
