drinkers in art

[ana_pirogova]

Drunkenness has never looked as beautiful as it does in Titian's painting of a wine-fuelled party in the open air. These drinkers conduct their antics with a magical grace. The dancers do not fall over. The wine jug balanced on a man's hand does not go flying. Wine has freed everyone from inhibition and made them amorous. In vino veritas. These drinkers do not yell at each other, vomit or pass out. Instead they all seem to be falling in love. One woman lies in a naked ecstasy as wine unleashes her passion.
