Triomphe de Silène, Bronze sculpture in Musée d'Orsay, France

The Triomphe de Silène depicts a scene where Silenus, the companion of Dionysus, stands unsteadily on his donkey in a pyramidal composition format.

Created by French sculptor Jules Dalou in 1897, this artwork was initially displayed in the Luxembourg Gardens before being transferred to the Musée d'Orsay.

The sculpture represents the mythological figure of Silenus, capturing the spirit of Dionysian celebrations through detailed bronze craftsmanship measuring 260 centimeters in height.
