Dionysian ProcessionRaphael

162
In this scene (1518), Raphael depicts Bacchus (Dionysus) leading a joyful procession of Maenads, Satyrs toward Cupid and Psyche’s wedding. The central Maenad, in ecstasy, embodies the Dionysian cult of revelry, blending divine intoxication with theatrical festivity.
