After the Bacchanal, 1898 (oil on canvas): A mesmerizing depiction of revelry and drunkenness, capturing the wild abandon and uninhibited joy that comes with letting go. In Chef; Le Cuisinier, (oil on canvas), we witness a culinary genius who finds solace in his craft after a night of indulgence. The kitchen becomes his sanctuary amidst the haze of intoxication. The dominant silverback Akarevuro, a majestic Mountain gorilla (Gorilla gorilla beringei), seems to embody the aftermath of excessive drinking - disheveled yet commanding, reminding us that even nature's giants can succumb to temptation. Flemish Tavern (oil on panel) transports us back to an era where ale flowed freely and merriment filled every corner. Here, drunkenness was not frowned upon but celebrated as a way to escape reality for just a moment. A Flemish Proverb, c. 1594 (oil on panel) humorously illustrates the consequences of overindulgence: stumbling fools trying to catch ducks in mid-air while their feet remain firmly planted in chaos. In a state of furious drunkenness (engraving), we see how alcohol can transform individuals into uncontrollable forces driven by their own desires. It serves as a reminder that moderation is key when navigating this unpredictable realm. The Amateur Doctors Remedy for Snake-Bite (chromolitho) showcases how desperation leads some to seek unconventional cures during moments of intoxication-induced panic. A humorous take on misguided attempts at self-remedy. The Rivals, 1840 (oil on panel) portrays two intoxicated gentlemen engaged in an absurd duel fueled by liquid courage. Their blurred vision and impaired judgment lead them down an irrational path towards conflict instead of resolution. The tree of intemperance published by N. Currier, New York, 1849 (colour litho) serves as a cautionary tale, depicting the destructive consequences of excessive drinking.
