'''Bacchus''' is a painting completed around 1596 by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610). It is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. The work depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, in a realistic and contemporary style that was revolutionary at the time. Caravaggio is known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his ability to bring mythological subjects into a more accessible and human realm.

In the painting, Bacchus is portrayed as a young man reclining while holding a carafe of wine. He is adorned with a wreath of ivy and grapes, traditional symbols of the god, and extends a shallow goblet towards the viewer, inviting participation in the scene. The figure's flushed cheeks and the intimate setting suggest a sense of immediacy and sensuality, which is characteristic of Caravaggio's approach to his subjects.

The composition's naturalism is heightened by the detailed depiction of the fruit on the table, which includes a basket of ripe fruit that is beginning to decay, a motif that may symbolize the transient nature of pleasure and life. The use of light and shadow not only models the figure of Bacchus but also emphasizes the tactile qualities of the skin, the textiles, and the fruit.

Caravaggio's ''Bacchus'' is often discussed in the context of the Counter-Reformation and the Catholic Church's response to the Protestant Reformation. The Church sought to use art as a means of conveying religious themes with emotional impact and accessibility. While ''Bacchus'' is a mythological rather than a religious painting, Caravaggio's style in this work exemplifies the principles that would influence religious art of the period.

The painting is one of several works by Caravaggio that explore classical and mythological themes, and it reflects the artist's innovative approach to genre and his influence on the development of Baroque painting. ''Bacchus'' remains a significant work for its embodiment of the early Baroque style and its impact on the depiction of mythological subjects in Western art.
