Bacchus


Caravaggio


1596



Bacchus as a fleshy effeminate youth, profuse locks crowned with profusely fruited grape vine wreath, eyebrows outlined, wearing shirt pushed off right side, seated against couch padded with cushion and covered by his cloak, looking at spectator, holding out red wine filled glass held in left hand, while loosening knot of sash with right hand; on table before him, vessel of wine and basket of fruits: pears, apples, white and red grapes, figs. Friedlaender writes that Bacchus' full shirt is pushed off the right shoulder in toga fashion "all'antica." His regular fleshy features bring to mind the sensuous idealism of certain Hadrianic representations of Antimous or Bacchus.Posner (in AQ ) points out that the artist's representation of Bacchus conforms with the traditional descriptions of him. For Ovid in Metamorphoses (III) Bacchus is an effeminate boy whose weapons are scented locks and soft garlands. Vincenzo Cartari in Imagini delli Dei de gl'Antichi describes Bacchus as delicate, soft, and rubicund of face.The androgynous character of this artist's figures is central to his intended aesthetic statement. His youths do not merely address themselves to the spectator, they solicit him. Bacchus does so with uninhibited openness and unmistakable intent. Holding the spectator with his languorous gaze, he proffers a glass of wine. In the foreground is a basket of tempting fruits. Bacchus is already half-undressed, and with his right hand he begins to loosen the knot of the sash around his waist. The picture urges orgiastic surrender to the delights of the senses.A basket of fruit is not an uncommon symbol of sexual gluttony. Figs are a traditional symbol of lust. Pears and apples are both fruits of Venus.
