The Boy Bacchus 1620

"The Boy Bacchus" (1620) by Guido Reni is a Baroque painting of a young Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, holding a tray with a wine cup. The painting is known for its delicate and soft color palette, which is characteristic of Reni's style. The composition features a dramatic use of light and shadow, which adds to the sense of depth and richness of the scene. The painting's depiction of Bacchus as a charming, youthful figure highlights the god's association with joy and abundance. This work currently resides in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy.
