''Bacchus'' is a painting by the English artist William Etty, completed in 1828. Known for his vivid use of color and his often controversial depictions of nudes, Etty was one of the most prominent British painters of the first half of the 19th century, particularly renowned for his history paintings containing nude figures. ''Bacchus'' epitomizes Etty's fascination with classical and mythological subjects, portraying the Roman god of wine and revelry in a moment of exuberant indulgence.

The painting features Bacchus, traditionally associated with fertility, wine, and the liberating power of the intoxicating drink, as the central figure surrounded by a retinue of followers and revelers. Etty's depiction of Bacchus is consistent with the artist's academic training at the Royal Academy of Arts, where he honed his skills in drawing from the antique and life, and his work reflects the influence of the Old Masters, particularly Titian and Rubens, in its robust flesh tones and dynamic composition.

''Bacchus'' is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its place within the broader context of Etty's career and the reception of his work in Victorian society. While Etty's nudes were often met with a mix of admiration and controversy, his commitment to portraying the human figure with honesty and sensuality was a hallmark of his style. The painting is a testament to Etty's mastery of the human form, his understanding of historical techniques, and his ability to infuse his subjects with a sense of vitality and movement.

The work is held in a public collection, allowing for continued appreciation and study of Etty's contribution to British art. ''Bacchus'' remains an important example of Etty's legacy as a painter who challenged the norms of his time with his bold representations of mythological themes and his unapologetic celebration of the human body.
