Sassuolo, Palazzo Ducale Estense, Galleria di Bacco: “Innalzamento delle colonne sul fiume Gange”.
Il finto arazzo da cui fa capolino un putto, raffigura un vasto paesaggio fluviale dominato in primo piano dalle impalcature delle due colonne corinzie. Bacco, seduto su di un masso, osserva i numerosi operai con funi e argani. Si tratta di uno dei quarantuno riquadri con scene dipinte da Jean Boulanger che narrano le vicende di Bacco. Dipinto murale a tempera, 1650 - 52.
