Despite the association with Veronese, the drawing is in fact for a picture by the French Academician Antoine-Francois Callet that depicts the celebration of the Roman Saturnalia, an occasion when slaves briefly and symbolically changed places with their masters. In the painting, Les Saturnales ou l'Hiver, the black slave youth remains attached to his mistress in a fixed habit of service and devotion, betokening and bearing witness to the continuing realities of despotic power in the midst of the temporary feast.

Here we see the ancient gods of nature inhabiting the countryside and engaged in their ‘everyday’ activities, though, as in The feast of Venus (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum), their presence is usually sensed rather than seen by any human characters depicted alongside them. A particular focus of the article is one of Rubens’ most personal works, the Nymphs and satyrs gathering fruit (Madrid, Museo del Prado). It was his happy invention to give the nymphs, satyrs and even the old Silenus the job of collecting fruit together, to keep the cornucopia – symbol of abundance and fecundity – in a state of constant overflow. It has not been realised, however, that Rubens had a classical source for the idea of Silenus and the satyrs helping the...
