"Bacchus" (1867) is a notable painting by Simeon Solomon, an English Pre-Raphaelite painter known for his depictions of Biblical, mythological, and literary subjects. This artwork stands as a significant piece within Solomon's oeuvre, reflecting his fascination with classical antiquity and its themes. The painting portrays Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, agriculture, and fertility, highlighting Solomon's interest in themes of decadence, beauty, and the exploration of sensual and androgynous figures, which were innovative and provocative during the Victorian era.

Simeon Solomon (1840–1905) was a prominent figure within the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The movement sought a return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Solomon's work, including "Bacchus," exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite principles through its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and incorporation of literary and mythological references.

"Bacchus" is particularly noted for its rich symbolism and the way it captures the essence of the god's dual nature – his capacity for joy and celebration, as well as the darker undertones of excess and frenzy. Solomon's depiction is not just a literal representation of the deity but also an exploration of the themes of youth, beauty, and the transient nature of pleasure. The painting's aesthetic qualities and thematic complexity make it a critical piece for understanding Solomon's artistic contributions and the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement.

Throughout his career, Solomon's works were celebrated for their beauty and depth, but his legacy was marred by societal attitudes towards his sexuality and legal troubles later in life. Despite this, "Bacchus" and Solomon's broader body of work have undergone a critical reevaluation, with modern scholarship recognizing his significant contributions to Victorian art and culture. "Bacchus" remains a testament to Solomon's skill as an artist and his ability to weave together classical themes with the innovative spirit of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
