About the piece
Painted by Jan Miel in 1645, this work illustrates the classical proverb 'Sine Cerere et Baccho Friget Venus,' which suggests that love requires the sustenance of food and wine to thrive. The scene is rendered with the dramatic lighting and rich textures characteristic of the Baroque period, featuring Bacchus with his grapevine crown and leopard skin alongside Ceres with her harvest of grain.
