Baccanale
after 1638
Giulio Carpioni throws a mythological rager in this Baroque scene, celebrating Bacchus, the god of wine. Satyrs with goat legs and flower-crowned nymphs are caught mid-dance, while chubby toddlers stumble around trying to join the fun. In the background, a statue watches over the chaos as musicians play flutes and tambourines. It’s a perfect snapshot of ancient indulgence, where the party never stops and everyone is a little bit tipsy.
