About the piece

Painted around 1640 by the Flemish master Jacob Jordaens, this work depicts Bacchus, the god of wine, as a robust infant. Seated amidst a lush arrangement of grapes, gourds, and ornate vessels, the child is bathed in a dramatic light that exemplifies the theatrical chiaroscuro and rich textures of the Baroque era.
