Description : Il trionfo di Bacco

Oil on canvas. The large painting represents the triumph of the god Bacchus, incarnation of pleasure, who, now drunk, sits on the ground, holding between his legs a jar from which wine flows, while around him various Maenads dance, play, and a bejeweled woman, perhaps Ariadne of royal lineage, throws flower petals on his head; above, an angel plays a trumpet as a sign of celebration, while at the bottom left, two small satyrs are sleeping, crouched on the ground. The intertwining of the bodies and the rather homogeneous chromatic range, which goes from the pale pink flesh tones of the nymphs to the earthy ruby color of Bacchus, fading into the reddish background, give the scene uniformity but ample movement. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.
