About The Youth of Bacchus 1884 (La Jeunesse de Bacchus) WilliamAdolphe Bouguereau Realism Painting
The Youth of Bacchus shows a scene of Bacchanalia. This was a ritual of drinking and wild dancing that was a part of the Roman festival dedicated to the god, Bacchus. The painting depicts a group of naked or semi-clothed men and women dancing and playing musical instruments, together with mythical creatures such as satyrs, nymphs, cherubs and centaurs. Despite the title of the painting referring to Bacchus’ youth, he is shown as a middle-aged man with a beard and a huge belly, who is obviously the worse for wear after drinking too much. He is naked, apart from a strategically placed vine across his groin and a head-dress made from vine leaves. Bacchus is slumped on the back of an overladen and unhappy donkey.
