Item Details
An early 20th century reproduction oil painting on canvas of The Feast of Bacchus or The Triumph of Borrachos by Diego Velázquez (b. 1599 d. 1660). The image depicts Bacchus, the Greek god of wine and revelry, with several male figures in contemporary Spanish dress. The male figures expressions and red cheeks indicate inebriation; a kneeling figure before Bacchus is crowned with grape leaves. The piece has a strong sense of chiaroscuro with a dark background and light on the figures. There is handwritten text to the verso reading, ‘F.G. de Banella’. It is presented in a gold tone frame with decorative plaster trim and is ready to hang.
