"The Young Bacchus" (Italian: "Bacco giovane"), also known as "Sick Bacchus" or "Self-Portrait as Bacchus," is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created around 1589. The artwork is an early example of Caravaggio's profound impact on the world of art, showcasing his signature use of chiaroscuro and realistic depiction of human figures. It is believed to be a self-portrait, painted shortly after Caravaggio's arrival in Rome, and reflects his state of health at the time, possibly after a severe illness.

The painting depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and festivity, as a young man in a state of languid repose, holding a carafe of wine and offering a bunch of grapes. The figure's pallor and the presence of a fig leaf, which was a later addition to cover the nudity, suggest themes of vulnerability and the transient nature of youth and beauty. The work is notable for its naturalism, a departure from the idealized portrayals of deities common in the Renaissance period, and for the direct gaze of Bacchus, which establishes an engaging connection with the viewer.

"The Young Bacchus" is part of the collection at the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy. It has been extensively studied for its autobiographical elements, as well as its innovative approach to mythological subjects, which would become a hallmark of Caravaggio's oeuvre. The painting is a testament to Caravaggio's early exploration of the dramatic potential of light and shadow, elements that would come to define the Baroque movement in art.
