Bacchus
Bacchus, the god of wine, is the main figure and is personified by a half-dressed boy seated in a basket throne with vine leaves, holding a large spoon as a scepter in his left hand. For the Romans Bacchus, was the god of the grape-harvest, winemaking and wine, of fertility, orchards and fruit, vegetation, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity and theatre in the ancient Greek culture. The iconographic theme on this sheet refer to the legend of the triumph of Dionysus, or as the Romans called him, Bacchus the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, the son of Zeus and Semele. The Bacchanalia was a religious festival in honor of the wine god, Dionysus. The legend of Bacchus leads this small entourage of mythological characters in his triumphant return from the victories in India. Similar to The Loves of the Gods on the vault of the Farnese Gallery by the Italian renaissance painter Annibale Carracci.
