The Youth of Bacchus
The Salon of 1884 crowns the vine.
What
The young god at the centre of a ring of dancing nymphs and satyrs, the bacchanal painted at the scale of a palace wall.
Why
Bouguereau was the master of the official Salon, and this canvas was his great statement of 1884.
Notice
The circle of dancers, every figure turning on the same beat.
“The academy’s idea of joy: perfect, and in motion.”
