"The Drunken Silenus with Putti" is a trompe l'oeil bas-relief attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna. This work exemplifies Mantegna's innovative approach to perspective and his fascination with classical antiquity. The bas-relief depicts Silenus, a figure from Greek mythology often associated with Dionysian excess and revelry, in a state of inebriation, surrounded by playful putti (cherubs). The composition cleverly employs trompe l'oeil, a technique designed to trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as a three-dimensional object, to create the illusion of a sculpted relief on a flat surface.

Mantegna's mastery in the use of perspective and light is evident in the way the figures seem to emerge from the background, showcasing his skill in rendering textures and forms with a high degree of realism. The artwork reflects the humanist interests of the Renaissance in its classical subject matter and its exploration of sensory deception through art. While the exact date of creation is uncertain, it is believed to have been produced during the height of Mantegna's career, when he was actively engaged in the intellectual and artistic circles of Northern Italy.

The "Drunken Silenus with Putti" is considered an important work within Mantegna's oeuvre, as it demonstrates the artist's engagement with classical themes and his pioneering contributions to the development of illusionistic painting techniques. The piece is often studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of Renaissance art, contributing to our understanding of the period's artistic innovations and cultural preoccupations.
