Hey 🙂
i’m trying to find a painting that’d look cool on the wall above the head of my bed.
I like art, but don’t know much about it.
Goya, Caravaggio, Blake, … love that kinda stuff.
But i’d like to find an image that somehow depicts hedonism (preference hedonism / desire satisfaction theory) in a not so creepy way. Don’t wanna scare away my potential companions 😅
Do you have an idea?
Thx!

Garden of Earthly Delights - Hieronymus Bosch
I want to be them
Have you been to Burning Man?
Relatable
I still haven’t found Waldo
I love el bosco, but the evolution of this painting was probably Bruegel in ‘the triumph of death’. If you include the other panels of the triptych, it is less salutary.
This is the one I’d recommend.
While it certainly fit’s the description it’s a bit busy, lol.
I might consider a few sections of it though, if i can find a source with high enough resolution.
Thx!
How about The Romans in Their Decadence? (Thomas Couture)
With the soundtrack of Caravan of Fools, by John Prine.
Looks like a fun situation ☺️ Thx for the suggestion!
I apologize for nothing.
The Feast of the Gods- Giovanni Bellini & Titian, oil on canvas (1514)
It’s not exactly hedonism, but is kind of adjacent.
The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard
I know it’s probably meant to be semi-serious but I can’t stop giggling at their faces
That’s intentional. Jean-Honoré Fragonard had a goofy style.

The English Bed - by Guillermo Lorca García Huidobro (2020)
Manet’s Déjeuner sur l’herbe comes to mind:
This is some great art in here! I’m really enjoying the different approaches to the subject. Maybe I need to sift around some galleries after all?
Eduard von Grutzner painted a lot of monks enjoying beer and spirits.
This is another great one! Thx! ☺️
I’d searxh for Bacchus or dionysius paintings
