← The Gods of the Vine

Bacchus

Antwerp’s Bacchus, flushed and in full health.

What

Jordaens paints the god of wine as a broad Flemish figure of the senses, fleshy, sunlit and unashamed.

Why

Antwerp’s great painter after Rubens, Jordaens made the vine a household god: the deity you might meet at a wedding.

Notice

The colour of the skin, ruddy as the wine itself.

“The god of the vine, painted as a neighbour.”
