Bacchus-Apollo c. 17th century

"Bacchus-Apollo" is an oil painting by Nicolas Poussin created in the 17th century. The painting depicts a scene from Roman mythology. In the foreground, the god Bacchus, the god of wine, is portrayed as a handsome young man with a wreath of ivy on his head. He stands in a pastoral setting, accompanied by his followers and a winged cherub. This work exemplifies Poussin's signature style, known for its clarity, balance, and use of classical allegory.
