It presents faults on the pictorial surface.
Measurements: 34 x 49 cm; 44,5 x 58,5 cm (frame).
The Bacchic theme has been a constant in the history of Western art since Ancient Greece, when this type of scenes used to decorate the vessels used in banquets. The Romans also frequently depicted it in mosaics and other types of artistic manifestations, and although during the Middle Ages it was relegated in favour of Christian themes, it was taken up again strongly in the Renaissance, with important examples such as Titian's Bacchanalia. Titian's works marked a significant change in the depiction of Bacchus. Titian set his bacchanals in an idyllic Arcadia, turning them into celebrations of sensuality inspired by Roman literature. In the Baroque period, Caravaggio took up this sensual interpretation of Bacchus, which Rubens took to its extreme by combining exuberance and decadence. By then, Bacchus was already one of the favourite themes for painters not only of mythological works, but also for genre painters, who often gave a popular air to their Bacchic scenes, with illustrious examples such as Velázquez's "The Drunks".
