The Feast of the Gods by Giovanni Bellini, 1514-1529

Imagine a wild, mythological picnic where Greek gods and rowdy satyrs kick back in a lush forest. Giovanni Bellini started this vibrant scene in 1514, but after he died, his student Titian stepped in to finish it, famously repainting the background to match his own dramatic style. It's basically the Renaissance version of a celebrity party, complete with a donkey, spilled wine, and a lot of awkward eye contact.
