A new exhibition at V&A Dundee<\/a>, until 28 August, explores the arc of Findlay\u2019s career.<\/p>\n What we learned<\/p>\n Richard Malone has dressed Bj\u00f6rk and his sculptures are on show in the EU in Brussels, but his biggest distraction is a noisy horse<\/a><\/p>\n Greek artist Andreas Angelidakis revealed the inspiration behind his RuPaul-influenced Venice pavilion<\/a><\/p>\n The History of Advertising Trust turned 50 this week \u2013 from the Baldy Man to mash-mad Martians, its archive has some gems<\/a><\/p>\n Misan Harriman went from City headhunter to protest photographer \u2013 to social media controversy<\/a><\/p>\n Space travel has inspired out-of-this-world art by Norman Rockwell, Alma Thomas and more<\/a><\/p>\n Burning flags, busty blondes and bison skulls were among some of the 50 photographs that captured America at 250<\/a><\/p>\n skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n Sign up to Art Weekly<\/p>\n Your weekly art world round-up, sketching out all the biggest stories, scandals and exhibitions<\/p>\n after newsletter promotion<\/p>\n The photography of Armet Francis celebrated the African diaspora<\/a><\/p>\n Masterpiece of the week<\/p>\n Young Satyr Gathering Grapes by Annibale Carracci, 1597-1600<\/p>\n Photograph: National Gallery, London<\/p>\n Need refreshment in the heat? Just reach for a grape. That\u2019s what it\u2019s like in the golden age pastoral world this painting conjures up. A satyr \u2013 half human, half goat, with his animal features discreetly represented here by pointy ears and a tail rather than the full furry goat legs often favoured \u2013 climbs a tree to grab a whole bunch of sweet yellow grapes. It was a popular image of sensuality and gratification in Rome at the end of the 16th century, where Caravaggio, too, was painting lush grapes and their consumers. This may seem a gentler vision than his, but that is illusory. This is a decorated panel from a harpsichord or similar musical instrument and was probably painted for the librarian of the Farnese Palace. Another panel from the instrument portrays the head satyr Silenus also grabbing grapes as two helpers hold up his portly body. These are amoral pagan images of pleasure that make you suspect those musical evenings in the Farnese Palace must have been a lot of fun. Where Caravaggio\u2019s grapes are full of darkness and sin, Carracci\u2019s carry no hint of retribution.
