Joachim Wtewael's "Bacchus" is a portrait of the Roman god of wine, revelry, and theatre. The painting depicts Bacchus, adorned with a wreath of grapevines and holding a goblet of wine, in a realistic style. The subject's fleshy appearance, abundance of grapes, and jovial expression contribute to the overall theme of festivity and indulgence associated with the god. Wtewael, a Dutch painter of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, is known for his meticulous attention to detail and use of rich colors, exemplified in this portrait.
