"Reclining Bacchante Playing the Cymbals" (1778) is an oil painting by French artist Jean-Simon Berthélemy (1743–1811). Berthélemy, who was known for his historical and mythological scenes, brings to life the image of a bacchante, a female follower of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and festivity, often associated with freedom and ecstatic celebrations. In this work, the bacchante is depicted in a moment of musical revelry, playing cymbals as she reclines, embodying the spirit of hedonism and the pastoral idyll associated with the cult of Bacchus.

The painting is a testament to the Rococo style that was prevalent in the late 18th century, characterized by its ornate and decorative elements, as well as its themes of pleasure and playfulness. Berthélemy's use of soft, flowing lines and a warm, vibrant palette captures the sensuousness and the indulgent atmosphere typical of Bacchic iconography. The figure's dynamic pose and the detailed rendering of her surroundings reflect the artist's skill in composition and his ability to convey movement and emotion.

"Reclining Bacchante Playing the Cymbals" is not only an example of Berthélemy's artistic prowess but also an illustration of the cultural fascination with classical antiquity that was prevalent during the artist's lifetime. The painting would have appealed to the tastes of the French aristocracy, who were patrons of the arts and admirers of the classical themes that harkened back to the Golden Age of Greece and Rome.

While the painting itself may not be as widely recognized as other works from the same era, it contributes to the understanding of the period's artistic trends and the cultural milieu in which Berthélemy was working. The artwork remains an important piece within Berthélemy's oeuvre, offering insight into the themes and styles that influenced French painting in the years leading up to the French Revolution.
