"Drunken Silenus Attended by Bacchantes" is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Sir Peter Paul Rubens, created in the early 17th century. This artwork vividly depicts the mythological figure Silenus, a companion and tutor to the wine god Dionysus (known as Bacchus in Roman mythology), in a state of inebriation, supported by a group of bacchantes, who are followers of Bacchus. The painting is a celebration of the Bacchic cult and reflects the themes of revelry, fertility, and the hedonistic aspects of nature associated with the god of wine.

Rubens, celebrated for his exuberant and dynamic style, mastery of color, and sensuous richness, often drew upon classical mythology for inspiration. In "Drunken Silenus Attended by Bacchantes," he showcases his skill in rendering the human form, movement, and emotion, as well as his ability to convey the textures of flesh, fabric, and the natural environment. The composition is characterized by a sense of movement and chaos, as the bacchantes, often depicted as maenads, are shown in various poses and expressions of ecstasy and intoxication, surrounding the central figure of Silenus.

The painting is notable for its robust figures, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the fluidity of the brushwork, all of which are hallmarks of Rubens's Baroque style. The work is imbued with a sense of theatricality and captures the essence of the Bacchic rites, which were notorious for their excess and abandon.

"Drunken Silenus Attended by Bacchantes" is part of Rubens's extensive oeuvre, which includes mythological and historical subjects, as well as portraits and religious works. The painting is a testament to Rubens's fascination with classical antiquity and his ability to reinterpret ancient themes through the lens of the Baroque sensibility. It remains an important example of 17th-century Flemish art and contributes to the understanding of cultural and artistic expressions of mythology during the Baroque period.

The painting is held in various collections and has been displayed in prominent museums, reflecting its significance in the history of European art. Its influence extends beyond its time, as it has been studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of mythological themes.
