Bacchanal Before a Statue of Pan 1633

"Bacchanal Before a Statue of Pan" (1633) by Nicolas Poussin depicts a scene of revelry and abandon, a bacchanal. The painting, now housed in the National Gallery, London, shows a group of figures celebrating in a lush, wooded landscape. The central figure is Pan, the god of the wild, represented by a statue. The painting's composition reflects the chaos of the bacchanal, while also showcasing Poussin's mastery of classical art.
