Abstract
In this article we will review the Tres cuadros del vino (Three pictures of wine) that Ortega y Gasset wrote in 1911, in which he questions the fundamental aspects of a scene of literary inspiration that gravitates on enjoyment and has excited the imagination of poets, artists and philosophers from different periods. It is interesting due to the way that it interprets pictorial images, that it differentiates styles and also for having focused its attention on a theme of profound cultural repercussions, that enlightens us about the relationship between gods, men and beasts. His study will help us to better understand the work of three masters of European painting, and to delineate more accurately the meaning of a mythical scene that represents the transforming power of wine.
