"Bacchus and Nymphs in a Landscape" is an oil painting created by Abraham van Cuylenborch in the 1640s. The painting features the Roman god of wine, Bacchus, and several nymphs in a lush landscape. The scene is filled with playful putti, or cherubs, who flit through the air, suggesting the carefree and hedonistic nature of the subject matter. The painting is known for its vibrant colors, detailed figures, and skillful depiction of light. It is a fine example of the Dutch Golden Age style, showcasing Cuylenborch's mastery of both figure and landscape painting. This artwork is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
