"The Triumph of Bacchus" is a watercolor painting by Johann Viktor Platzer, dated around 1625. The painting depicts the Roman god Bacchus riding on an elephant, surrounded by a procession of revelers. It is believed to be a study for a larger composition, showcasing Platzer's skill in rendering detail and movement. The painting is currently housed in the Städel Museum, where it offers insight into the artistic practices of the Baroque period, and the use of watercolor as a medium for preliminary studies.
