"Bacchus" is a marble sculpture created by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. Completed in 1497, it is one of Michelangelo's earliest works and stands as a significant example of his mastery in sculpting the human form. The statue depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, in a state of revelry, embodying both the physical and emotional aspects of intoxication.

Michelangelo's "Bacchus" is notable for its dynamic composition and lifelike representation. The figure is portrayed with a slightly swaying posture, suggesting the effects of inebriation. Bacchus holds a goblet of wine in his right hand, while his left hand clutches a lion's skin, a traditional attribute of the god. At his feet, a small satyr playfully interacts with a bunch of grapes, further emphasizing the theme of indulgence and festivity.

The sculpture was commissioned by Cardinal Raffaele Riario, who intended it for his garden. However, upon completion, the cardinal rejected the work, possibly due to its unconventional portrayal of the god. Subsequently, the banker Jacopo Galli acquired the statue and placed it in his garden, where it remained until it was eventually moved to its current location in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence.

"Bacchus" is a testament to Michelangelo's early exploration of classical themes and his ability to infuse his sculptures with a sense of movement and emotion. The work reflects the artist's deep understanding of human anatomy and his skill in rendering the complexities of the human body. Despite its initial rejection, "Bacchus" has come to be appreciated as a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, showcasing Michelangelo's innovative approach and his enduring influence on the art world.
