"Bacchantenzug" (Procession of Bacchants) is a drawing by the Flemish Baroque artist Jacob Jordaens. Created sometime between 1593 and 1678, the drawing depicts a lively scene of revelry associated with Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry. The composition features a group of figures, including a nude male figure, dressed in a wreath, accompanied by a goat, and various figures engaged in dancing and music. The scene is full of energy and movement, reflecting Jordaens' interest in capturing the joy and exuberance of human life. The drawing, likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, showcases Jordaens' skill in rendering form and capturing a sense of vitality. The drawing, often displayed in museums and private collections, is a testament to the artist's legacy as a leading figure in Flemish Baroque art.
