"Los Borrachos" (English: "The Drunkards" or "The Drinkers"), also known as "The Triumph of Bacchus," is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created between 1628 and 1629. This masterpiece, which measures 165 cm × 225 cm (65 in × 89 in), is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, and is one of Velázquez's most famous works from his early period.

The painting depicts a group of revelers gathered around the god Bacchus, who is bestowing the gift of wine. Bacchus, also known as Dionysus in Greek mythology, sits at the center of the composition, draped in classical garb and crowned with a wreath of vine leaves, symbolizing his dominion over wine and festivity. He is portrayed as a young, robust figure, who leans towards the group of common men surrounding him, as he places a leafy crown on the head of one of the inebriated participants, anointing him as a follower.

"Los Borrachos" is celebrated for its realistic portrayal of the human figure and the masterful use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. Velázquez's skillful depiction of the textures of skin, cloth, and the translucent qualities of wine is evident in this work. The painting's composition, with its dynamic arrangement of figures and expressions, captures the jovial yet ironic atmosphere of the scene.

The artwork is interpreted as both a genre scene, reflecting the customs and practices of the time, and an allegory, with Bacchus representing the liberating power of wine, which allows man to escape from the hardships of daily life. "Los Borrachos" has been extensively analyzed by art historians and is considered a significant example of Baroque painting in Spain, showcasing Velázquez's ability to blend the divine with the mundane and his profound understanding of human nature.

Velázquez, born in Seville in 1599, was the leading artist in the court of King Philip IV of Spain and one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age. His work had a significant impact on Western art, and "Los Borrachos" remains a testament to his legacy, illustrating his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of the human condition through the lens of classical mythology.
